Personal Statement
I've always dreamed of playing at the next level. Since starting to play baseball at eight years old I've had the mindset that it wasn't about 8U, 12U or even 16U baseball, but it was about preparing myself to play college baseball. Everything leads up to that, but I sure have had a blast playing along the way. I am an outstanding defensive catcher with a strong ability to call a game, lead my team and control the running game. When I'm catching the stats show that my pitchers get more strike calls, when compared to the other catchers on my teams. I have great deal of confidence and have strong communication skills with players, coaches and umpires. I've been umpiring since I was 14 and this has enhanced my knowledge of the game. Offensively I will do what my team needs to get the run scored and the win; even if it means doing something that hurts my stats, such as bunting or a sac-fly. Finding the right school academically is the most important factor for me when considering where to go/play after high school and I am very realistic about my options for schools.
