Kevin Puryear '22 Recruiting Profile

I've been playing baseball since I was 4 and have played in middle school, high school, and on several travel programs in the Richmond, VA area, and absolutely love the game. My ultimate goal is to earn a spot on the roster of a competitive college program and be a contributor in any role needed to benefit the team. In the game, I'm very flexible, stay composed under pressure, and never let my emotions get the best of me. I'm willing to do whatever the coach needs me to do and play any position to help my team be successful and win games. During my two seasons with the Richmond Hornets, some of my offensive accomplishments include being in the upper 1/3 of the team for runs scored, the highest percentage for Quality at Bats, and highest On Base Percentage. Defensively as an Outfielder, I finished one season with 1 error out of 22 chances in the field. Most recently, I had a Showcase Tournament highlight where I had 17 putouts in 2 games competing against an older showcase team.

I'm a well-rounded student excelling academically in both the Middle School IB program and High School honors program maintaining a 3.8 GPA (on a 4.0) scale, volunteering between 50 -70 hours each year, and being disciplined in self-care with health and nutrition, and exercise and strength training at least 5 days a week. I plan on majoring in the field of engineering.
