Matthew Felber '21 Recruiting Profile

    Although student comes before in student athlete, being an athlete has inspired me to be a better student. Everything started when I was as little as five years old, sitting in my backyard and pretending like I was hitting a home run every time I swung the bat. I started playing baseball competitively when I was nine years old, beginning my Little League career. I made the tournament team when I was nine, and I will never forget the look my coach gave me after I hit a triple in my first at bat for the team. The following year as a 10 year old we won the Wisconsin Little League State Championship. Two years later as a 12 year old, in my last season as a Little Leaguer, we again were State Champions, and I was fortunate enough to make it to the Little League Regionals in Indianapolis. Post Little League, I continued my baseball career with the Kenosha Red Sox, where we primarily played tournaments in the Upper Midwest. This past year I joined the 15U Puma Baseball Academy where we traveled to top tournaments throughout the Midwest. Now as a 16 year old, I am working on my craft while looking forward to this upcoming season. 

    I am currently a Junior at Indian Trail High School in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Some of my favorite classes include AP World History and Physics. I am currently exploring the field of Criminology. My primary goal at the moment is to graduate High School and commit myself to a College that offers the field of study I am looking into, as well as a baseball opportunity.
