Ronald James '18 Recruiting Profile

              Playing baseball at the collegiate level has always been a dream of mine.  My dream has been to get out on the diamond and give everything I have.  I make a great candidate for any team because I am a team player first.  My team always comes first, both on and off the field.  I strive to always pick other players up to ensure we are working towards one goal.   I work hard on and off the field to achieve any goal that I have in my sights.  Character is very important to me.  My character is different from other recruits in many ways.  At the end of my High School career I will have gained over 200 service hours.  These experiences helping others have built character and differentiate myself from others.  Athletically I feel as though I have grown and worked to become the player that coaches want on their team.  I work hard and take direction from my coaches to always ensure that I am becoming the best player I can be.  Finally, I pride myself on academics.   Throughout my life I have always been an A+ student.  Beginning the summer before my Junior year I began taking college courses in addition to my honors curriculum and will have accumulated approximately 20 college credits, which will give me an upper hand and experience entering my college career.  Playing college baseball is a dream of mine and I will continue to work hard and push until this dream becomes a reality.
