Sam St. Clair '23 Recruiting Profile

Baseball is all I've ever known. It has been a central force, grounding and structuring my life for as long as I can remember. It has provided for me my closest friends, mentors, and an extended "family". It has taught me essential life skills like perseverance, patience, and confidence. It has taught me how to win with grace and lose with dignity. To learn from both my successes and failures and how to apply those lessons to scenarios both on and off the field. Baseball has taught me how to be a part of a team and not an element on my own. How to support my teammates when they need to be lifted up and trust that they in turn will be there for me. Baseball is not a sport I play, but a home and a foundation for everything I do. There would be no greater joy for me than having the opportunity to continue being a part of this incredible game at the next level continuously striving to better myself, my team, and the university I represent. I believe what makes me different from other athletes is my true grit and desire to succeed no matter what, my ability to listen, learn and apply what I'm being taught, and the physical size and skills I've acquired to date.
