My name is Rayce Craver. I am a Junior at Hazel Green High School in Hazel Green, Alabama graduating in 2023. I am a RHP and OF. I am enrolled in several AP courses (English and Computer Science currently) and have a 3.84 GPA.
I am very involved in my church which has allowed me to grow and help others in their spiritual walk. Baseball and church have given me a strong work ethic allowing me to achieve my goals and be a good example. I know this will allow me to focus on my college academics and baseball career. I recently was ranked by PBR #133 overall and #26 RHP in Alabama. I am currently a starter for my High School Team with Coach Mitchell Wright and on the Nashville Knights South Platinum Team (15U/16U) for the 2021/22 summer seasons with Coach Shelby Hunter. I was with Viper Baseball Academy 12U-14U Black (Coach Ricky Diehl) out of Huntsville, AL who at the time was ranked by PG in the top ten in the US. I am not a big guy but I play every play with all my strength and passion. I leave it all on the field. I am not a home run hitter but I feel I am a clutch player that gets the job done under pressure. I believe I have a high baseball IQ that in the end with my skills helps my team.
I believe I will outwork most if not all.
Thank you for taking the time to look through my profile. I look forward to developing a rewarding relationship with you, your staff and my future teammates.
