John McCutchen '20 Recruiting Profile

I started off my high school career going to Paschal High school.  My freshman year I played football and baseball. Our baseball team was very successful and won the district championship.  My main positions were Shortstop or Second Base. That summer and fall, I got an opportunity to play 18u baseball with the Texas Stix.  When I was around higher competition with athletes who liked to work hard and strived to play better, I worked harder, played better, and realized that I wanted to play college baseball.  

As I started my sophomore year, I was not enjoying the non-Christ based program at Paschal.  After my first semester, I transferred to Southwest Christian School. They have a distinctively Christian environment that I have really enjoyed.  This school is also better preparing me academically for college. Now that I am not at a 6A school, I have the opportunity to play baseball and football.  It’s been a different baseball experience because the coaches have played me at every position on the field. I have learned that being a more versatile player will help me out in the long run.  I know that because I have been at a Christian-based school, with Christian coaches, it is making me a better man and even a better baseball player.
