Mark Schaaf '22 Recruiting Profile

My many years experience competing in sports from a young age have greatly influenced the person I am today.  My interest and love for the game of baseball began when I was very young watching my three older brothers compete on the field. Learning to be a good teammate, overcoming adversity, and challenging myself to become a better student athlete has shaped the person I am today.  Working through hitting slumps and tough games defensively present an ongoing challenge that with reflection and continued hard work will help me continue to grow and learn. The long term friendships developed over the years through my baseball experiences are invaluable.

My academic goals for high school are to remain a solid A student and continue to challenge myself with honors and college preparatory classes that will provide me the best possible foundation for success in college.  Playing baseball has taught me that failure is a big part of the game and it can teach many lessons.  Using my experiences with failure and success to improve my character,  problem solving capabilities,  and baseball skills will greatly impact my future accomplishments in the game I love and all aspects of life.
