Shay Hartis '19 Recruiting Profile

Although I was being recruited be several good D1 colleges as a pitcher, I have accepted an offer to play at Texas Tech University   I was very blessed to be a Perfect Game All American and an Under Armour Baseball Factory National team member.  I have been playing baseball since I was 5 years old. I am passionate and dedicated to the game.   I am always working hard to excel in my playing ability, being a leader to my teammates, and giving back to the community.   I am currently involved in YMSL (Young Men's Service League), Young Life Christian Organization, National Honor Society, other school related activities, and I do other community service work in my spare time.  Playing past high school has always been a dream that I want to pursue.  I also work every week with pro instructors so I can take my game to the next level.  I take school and education just as important as baseball.   I have been told by coaches what sets me apart is my good arm slot, arm speed, and my ability to locate all my pitches.  I have a very low walk ratio on the mound.  Besides my love for baseball....on a personal note, Jesus Christ, family, and education is my life.
