Ethan Schmidt '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ethan Z. Schmidt.  I am a senior (Class of 2020) at Canyon High School in Anaheim Hills, California.  I am a starting middle infielder on the Canyon Varsity baseball team.  Baseball has been my life and passion!

I am a three-year Varsity player and was the Frosh/Soph team captain and Team MVP my freshman year.  As a sophomore, I was named to the Varsity baseball team and represented my high school in the Orange County CA Sophomore Showcase for coach-selected high potential baseball players.

I was born blessed with agility and athleticism and have played organized sports since the age of 4, heavily in baseball and soccer.  I also played soccer at the Junior Varsity level at Canyon as a freshman before focusing solely on baseball.  My soccer legs and natural style have made me a smooth and agile middle infielder and a quick and effective baserunner.  My confidence and composure have made me a relief pitcher my coaches can trust in tense situations.

As a long time travel/club player, my strengths have been my baseball knowledge/heads-up play (“baseball smarts”), leadership, focus, coachability, speed, agility, and versatility.

I am a 4.0 scholar-athlete (ACT to be taken in September) with a desire to pursue a Kinesiology/Sports Medicine major while working hard for the success of the baseball team.  Balancing school and sports with a foundation in faith has been my success.  I want to continue my baseball life at the college level.  I look forward to the opportunity to represent the school and baseball program as a committed student and impactful player!
