Steven Hemminger '21 Recruiting Profile

Since I was young, playing baseball has always been my passion. It  drives me to seek mastery and learn about myself in ways that nothing else in life can teach me. Playing baseball in college would add to this amazing experience it has already given  me.

I have and always will take my academics very seriously, which is shown through my 4.0 GPA and  honor roll classes. This same passion is transmitted into any work I do, and especially baseball. I strive for excellence every day and always try to put myself in a position to succeed.

On the field,  I always seek to be a leader. Helping my teammates  succeed and my team  win will always come first. Along with this, I am also very coachable and respectful to any coach, teacher, person, or  mentor  that I connect with.

Mentally, I take the game of baseball  to heart. Being a great baseball player requires skill, but it also requires mental toughness. In a game of failure, what separates me, is that I take adversity and I grow from it. Seeing situations as learning experiences and finding ways to get better instead of   becoming complacent  is what makes me   different.
