June 2019Personal Statement
I’ve always considered myself a very competitive person and it shows on the baseball field and in the classroom. I often enjoy competing with my friends to see who can get the best grades for the class, or on a term paper or midterm. I’ve been a consistent student so I can be counted on to keep my grades up. In the off season, you can find me at my home gym or working with a pitching coach. Starting this summer, I’ll be working out at Driveline and following their program for the next year. My goals are to improve my mechanical efficiency, velocity, and command in the zone. Last but not least, my Christian faith is a very important foundation for me and has positively affected my character and shaped me into who I am today.

- 2023 LHP Craig Yanagihara (Redwood Christian) - High waist, lean strength, long and lanky build projecting more strength. Slotted three pitches from the left side with a tight and fluid lift allowing hands to break cleanly. Small depth out of the glove, but compact getting to the H-3/4 slot and finishing over a stable front side. FB (78-82 MPH, 21.2 Max IVB, -21.3 Max HB) spotted to different parts of the zone (85.7% In Zone by Trackman) setting up two good offspeed. CB (67-71 MPH, 2374 Max Spin, -14 Max IVB, 16 Max HB) was short, tight, and hard with late horizontal actions; feel for the pitch (75% In Zone). CHG (72-75 MPH, -24.3 Max HB, 14.1 Max IVB) with dive and run arm side off the FB look. Build and stuff to be a starter at the next level as he continues to mature.
