Zachary Wesselman '23 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals and aspirations:

My long term aspiration is to go to college and learn exercise science or kinesiology and hopefully play baseball(the greatest sport ever). Baseball is my passion; however, I would enjoy to help others achieve their best ability by relearning how to use their body. I have a desire to learn more about the human body and how exercise affects it. After baseball, I hope to be able to gain a steady or stabilized career based off of my major. I am interested in a school that that challenges me mentally and also provide me with the interests I enjoy. When I go to college, I hope the school has a very competitive athletic program. I say competitive because my passion for the sport of baseball is very competitive. At my high school Valley Catholic, I continuously compete at highly competitive levels of sports and perform to great extents. Baseball is a sport I have played all my life and hope to continue my career and one day I hope to receive a chance to go and perform at the next level. 

What makes you a good candidate for their team?
At my school I consider myself to be a leader not just on the field amongst teammates but amongst my classmates aswell; I am vigorous, agile, and versatile, able to play multiple positions well. I learn very quickly so I can bring lots of my talent to the team. On the field I currently play centerfield and first base, but I am able to play any position on the field as a utility.

What makes you different from other recruits in character, athletics and academics?
I'm different from the other recruits because I like to be a team player before a personal goal achiever. I do this in order to help grow and push the team towards a successful game, season, and high school experience. Last year we went 1-13 but this year our team is off to an amazing start of 4-3 with many games to follow. In school, I love to work hard so i'm prepared for college and can manage both academics and sports at the same time.
