Peyton Smith '22 Recruiting Profile

         Ever since I was 3 years old, I have tried sports from football, basketball, soccer, and even wrestling, but have ultimately developed a passion for baseball. I have been extremely committed to the game and have worked long, hard hours to enhance my game. I would love to play at the next level and do whatever it takes to get there. Every day I continue to work hard on the field, in the cages, in the weight room, and even in the classroom. I have a 4.42 GPA and have been a Varsity Athlete since Freshman Year.  Along with enhancing my game, I strive to become a better person on and off the field: becoming the best teammate I can be, developing more leadership qualities, or even volunteering more in the community.

         Since I first began playing the game, I have been taught one valuable lesson that I will never forget. That lesson is to never give up and always strive for what you want. I will always remember that lesson when practicing long hours, going through hard workouts, and even hard losses. At the end of the day, I believe I can bring many skills to the table that can improve the program. I am a player that has speed, an aggressive bat, gap-to-gap power, smooth fielding and hitting motions, and a will to sacrifice my body for the play/team.
