Isaiah Salas '25 Recruiting Profile

I fell in love with baseball at 4 years old, but my obsession with throwing a ball may have started before then. Growing up in Northern California, I always played outside and enjoyed baseball with my friends and teammates. I thrive on competition and enjoy the process of mastering my ability to strike a player out. The feeling of overcoming obstacles excites me, but my passion is performing well and winning with my teammates. With my move to The Woodlands, Texas, I've learned to adapt to new coaches and teammates and created life-long friendships thanks to baseball.

My strengths include:

1. Great teammate
2. Coachable and inclined to test new techniques
3. FB max RPM: 2,679, SL max RPM: 2,799
4. Consistency when pitching - FB: 86-89, CH: 79, CB: 73-74, SL: 76-79
5. 4.0 GPA

When I step on a mound, I know it's where I belong. I've been pitching my entire baseball career and devoted countless hours to getting stronger, faster, and smarter on and off the field. I'm committed to working hard and continuously improving my craft. I will always step up to a challenge and find ways to learn and grow from the experience. 

I always put in more work than expected than any competitor, and I'm motivated to be the best at what I do. I aim to become a professional baseball player, but I understand that my academics are crucial to my success. Therefore, I take classes that will challenge and prepare me for college. I want to major in Finance, but I'm open to learning more about Sports Medicine, so I will likely do both in my lifetime. I plan to continue to excel in athletics and education throughout my high school career. In the future, I aspire to become a D1 college student-athlete and become the best LHP in baseball.
