Gabriel Carrizoza '23 Recruiting Profile

It is my dream to compete at the highest level. I focus on doing something everyday to get better in order to make it a reality. I am coachable and work hard. I am a supportive teammate and keep our energy up on the field no matter if we are winning or losing. Driveline Athlete. I love the gym and routinely make arm care a priority. At first base I have a good glove and can transfer to release the ball quickly.  I know I am not the tallest first baseman out there but my footwork and knowledge of playing the proper angels allows me to get to any ball hit my way, same for the outfield. On the mound I love the mental intensity of keeping the hitters guessing. At the plate, I am learning to trust my hand speed allowing me to track the ball a little longer. I can't control what happens after the ball is in play so I focus on making solid contact and hitting the ball as hard as I can.  I believe knowing and using my strengths will help me make an impact for our team to be successful on and off the field. 

My ultimate goal is to be a part of a program where I can help our team accomplish our season's goals while given the chance to play and get better for the next level.
