Aidan Mow '19 Recruiting Profile

Hello coaches and recruiters, thank you for stopping by and allowing me to tell you a little bit about myself.  My name is Aidan Mow and I am currently a junior attending Earl Warren High School. I play mostly in the middle infield, but could really play anywhere that the team may need me except for catcher and 1^st base. I also pitch and have a good arsenal of pitches that I can throw from both a ¾ angle and sidearm. My pitches include: 4-seam fastball, 2-seam fastball, cutter, change-up, and curveball. I would consider myself more of a control guy rather than a velocity type pitcher at this moment, and I am able to hit spots consistently and keep hitters off balance with my different angles of pitching and motions.

I started playing baseball around the age of 6 and have grown to sincerely love this game as I have gotten older. A lot of things along the way to where I am now have shaped me into the player I am today. Most importantly my family who has been there every step of the way alongside of me during my baseball career with nothing but support and dedication to make me a better player. I also feel as if fracturing my hip during my freshmen year has helped strengthen the mental side of my game. It was a major setback for me at the start of my high school career, and it happened right as the season started. Despite only playing a couple of games on varsity at the end of the season, the recovery process taught me valuable lessons that has mentally prepared me to not give up even when you’re at you lowest.  It also helped me learn more about myself and the things I needed to improve to up my game. As I recovered from my injury and made improvements both mentally and physically I gained more and more confidence in myself.  Along with things that have shaped me as a player, I have overcome adversities involving my size and height. As you may have read on my profile already I may not be the biggest of players or tallest, but I’ve learned to work with what I have and gained more determination for  becoming a better player every day and working harder than most. With those adversities comes negativity from opponents and people thinking I can’t do this or can’t do that, so throughout the years I have lived by a quote which is “Don’t say anything, just prove them wrong.” Which means to not let that opponent or person get in your head, but instead prove them wrong with all the hard work and dedication I put into baseball.

Although baseball does play a very important role in my life, family and school are priorities that slightly go above the game I love to play. I am entering my junior year with a 3.6 cumulative GPA, and I am enrolled in a University of Texas (Austin) college level Physics class alongside with a Pre-AP Calculus class. I ended my sophomore year in the top 10 percent of my class and hope to do the same this year or do even better. I was also inducted into the Spanish National Honor Society, became a member of the National Society of High School Scholars, and as a sophomore I earned first team all-district academic honors in baseball.

College wise I am looking for a school that best fits me both on and off the field, and one that will let me major in either Electrical Engineering or Sports Medicine. I am open to any school both in Texas and out of state, big or small, and any division that sees potential in me (D1, D2, D3, etc.).  Whichever college gives this underdog a chance will get a baseball player that puts the team first before himself and a dedicated student that will excel in the classroom!
