Joshua Russell '18 Recruiting Profile

The first time that my buddies and I made it into the Oregon JBO State tournament my 8th grade year was  one of my biggest highlights, the amount of pressure that was on me was so intense, that I took a liking to it. Our team took 5th in the State tournament and ended up 54-7 overall that season. I took home a pitching award during that tournament for having several strikeouts with a knuckle ball, I enjoy the feeling of having my teammates back me up on and off the field, the relationships that come with the game is something I have always admired. 

I am different from others athletically, by having the ability to throw a variety of pitches and hit spots. I enjoy being outgoing, very caring, and to be a coachable player. Overall I feel that I would fit into any program and be able to be a great team player, a player who represents the school respectably, and last but not least a good student.
