2023 SpotlightPersonal Statement
Hello my name is Izaiah Ott. I am in the class of 2026 and I am a true utility player who has experience at many if not all the positions. My goal is not a simple goal but a common goal and that is to play in the MLB. Although I don’t want to stop there, I want to be the next Ott in the Hall of Fame next to my Great-Uncle Mel Ott.
What makes me different; I understand things in life don’t come easy. I am willing to put in a the work academically and physically to get closer to my dream every day. Attending a top College is a big step to help me reach that goal. I would say I am a strong leader and have a strong head on my shoulders. Also, I hope to grow and learn from top college coach’s on my journey to becoming a MLB athlete.
I hope to speak to potential College Coaches soon. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer.
Thank you for your time of reviewing my profile.
Talk to you soon!
