Next Level U Statement

I’m highly interested in attending a 4 year institution to play baseball as a 2-way player at the highest possible level while earning my degree. I have played hockey, volleyball, baseball, basketball, also achieved my black belt in Karate. Of all the sports that I participate in, baseball has been my passion since I was young. One of my main goals is to learn the skills necessary to have a career where I can continue to be involved in the sport.

Positions:

2-Way (Outfielder/Pitcher)

Player Style:

Hitting:

Since I’m a left handed hitter, I use the opposite field to my advantage. I tend to stay in the back of the box and focus on hitting the ball towards left center for singles, doubles and triples. I am a reliable contact hitter that does anything he can to get on base and then use my speed to steal bases and score runs for the team.

Fielding:

I am very confident in the outfield as I have good speed and ball-tracking ability. Since I am also a pitcher, I know the importance of making clutch plays and always giving 100% on every play. While in the outfield, my arm is strong enough to throw guys out trying to advance and score.

Pitching:

I have a very smooth wind-up that requires a lot of flexibility and it helps me stride closer towards home plate. My goal while pitching is to keep my team in the game for all the innings that I pitch. While on the mound, I try to get ahead early in the count by using my breaking balls for strike outs or ground balls as my off-speed are my best pitches.
