Cade Pilchard '19 Recruiting Profile

     I am a 17 year old high school graduate and will be entering college in the Fall of 2019. I had an extremely successful senior year where I pitched 43 innings, had 53 strikeouts, and a season ERA of 2.44, in a very competitive Delta League. Our team finished 1st place in league and 2nd place in section.

      I believe that I am a strong candidate for any college because I am a balanced student with strengths in both academics and athletics. I strive for excellence on the baseball field, both as an individual player and as a teammate. Baseball has taught me how to overcome adversity, as it has one of the highest failure rates of all sports. I have always been the youngest player on my team, yet I have always been able to compete with other athletes who have at least a full year on me. I made First Team All League and was awarded the “Most Inspirational Player” by my coaches and peers. 

     I attended a private high school that focused on the importance of brotherhood and giving back to the community. I feel that this contributed to my ability to form strong relationships with my teammates and my coaches. I maintained a 3.5+ GPA in high school, and I plan on doing the same in college. I aspire to be recruited to a college that aligns with my academic and athletic goals, and where I can contribute both on and off the field.

     I played on the 2018 Area Codes team and successfully pitched against some of the top hitters in the country. I’ve had interest from two MLB teams in being drafted out of high school, but my focus is on a four-year, D1 program.
