Zach Bliss '26 Recruiting Profile

Dear Coaches,

I hope this message finds you well. As a left-handed pitcher with aspirations to play professional baseball someday, I am excited to share my recruiting profile with you. Alongside my collegiate goals, I am also driven to work in the front office for a major league baseball team, further deepening my involvement in the sport.

What sets me apart as a candidate for your team is a combination of durability, coachability, and intelligence. I take pride in my ability to stay on the mound, consistently delivering strong performances and supporting the team's success. Furthermore, I am eager to learn and grow under your guidance, always open to feedback, and ready to put in the work to improve my skills. My intelligence on the field allows me to analyze situations, make strategic decisions, and adapt to various game scenarios effectively.

Baseball is more than just a sport to me; it is my passion. I eat, breathe, and sleep baseball. This unwavering dedication fuels my relentless pursuit of excellence. It is what motivates me to give my all in every practice, game, and training session. This commitment is evident in my strong work ethic and the continuous effort I put into honing my skills.

What sets me apart from other recruits is my unwavering devotion to the game. I truly live and breathe baseball, and this passion is reflected in my character, athletics, and academics. My love for the sport is matched only by my love for my family. I am immensely grateful for the time, energy, and effort they have invested in supporting me throughout my journey. Their unwavering support and encouragement have been instrumental in my success, and I carry their values and teachings with me both on and off the field.

Over the past three years, I have had the privilege of being mentored by Mason Englert from the Detroit Tigers. Having someone of his caliber as a mentor has been invaluable in my development as a pitcher. Mason has provided me with tips, tricks, and tactical insights that have significantly contributed to my growth as a player. I am fortunate to have someone I can rely on for guidance and advice.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my profile. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your team's success, both as a player and in the future, as a front-office professional. I look forward to the possibility of joining your program and working towards achieving my goals alongside your esteemed coaching staff.

Sincerely,

Zach Bliss
