Austin Short '23 Recruiting Profile

I have played multiple sports since I was young.  But as I grew up, I began to realize that my real passion was the game of baseball. That has driven me all the way through middle school and high school. I may not be the tallest person on the field but what I lack in the height department I make up in heart and other physical ability. And my baseball IQ is unmatched I know exactly what to do with the ball when I get it. I view myself as a leader on the field I always am talking to others about where they need to go on the play, where the batter has hit the ball in the game and I'm always trying to better myself. My hitting numbers are also not crazy good, but they do the job, just like me when I am needed, but when I am on base, I make myself a threat. I'm aggressive and can steal a bag at any time. Ill push singles into doubles and be ready to move at any given moment. My goals in college are that of any other individual, to make a name for myself and make it to the next level.  I am a utility player and love reps at every spot, I can pitch although it is not my favorite, but I have a very good reaction time and can use my arm when needed, that is why I catch and play third. I work hard in the classroom and will be a good recruit for any team I'm ready to work and most importantly I am ready to win.
