Griffin Giles '24 Recruiting Profile

As a baseball player, I’ve come to realize that the game of baseball has so much more to offer than just wins and losses. It’s been a genuine source of happiness, but it also requires a great deal of hard work and dedication. I’m on a mission to reach my full potential both on and off the diamond. Baseball has taught me invaluable life lessons that I can apply to all aspects of my life, from academics to relationships. It has shown me the importance of discipline, teamwork, perseverance and resilience. With each practice and each game, I strive to become a better version of myself.

I have always been a believer in dreaming big and never giving up. I know that with determination and hard work, any goal I set can be reached. That is why I strive every day to be the best version of myself, to make a positive impact on those around me, and to reach my goals no matter how ambitious they may be. From being an overlooked freshman to becoming a true team leader, I have never stopped pushing myself forward in order to achieve success.  Sophomore year, I not only made Varsity but, I started every game, batted second, and played every inning of every game of that season.

I have been told I am a driven and coachable team leader, I am looking to take my leadership and game skills to the next level by pursuing a degree in business. As an uncommitted 2024 baseball player I continue to work hard.  I go to the gym to workout and/or practice my skills daily.  I am a 6'2", 205 lb. left handed hitter and left handed 1st baseman, currently on the 17U Taconic Rangers, a college showcase team that I have with now for three years.  I am a 3 time, NYSPHSSA scholar athlete, member of the National Honor Society and have maintained a high honor roll status throughout my entire high school career.
