Andrew Alva '24 Recruiting Profile

My 5th, 10th, and 15th birthdays all have one thing in common: they were spent on the baseball field. Throughout every stage of my life, I can be found doing the thing I love. Playing since as long as I can remember, baseball has been a transformative force in my life. I have been shaped not only as a player, but as a student, friend, and son by the valuable lessons I have learned while playing this beautiful game. Teamwork, respect, and dedication are core foundations of not only baseball, but now me as a person. These values are the driving forces behind my goals and aspirations: to play collegiate baseball. I am confident that my high baseball IQ and enthusiasm to play anywhere on the field will make me an excellent player on your team. In addition to my natural size and power, standing at 6’3 and 205 lbs, I can be distinguished through my grit, work ethic, and dedication towards self improvement. Academically, I have challenged myself  by taking several AP courses and proudly maintaining a 3.7 GPA. As a student athlete, I understand the importance and value in both a strong academic and athletic performance. This understanding has motivated me to perform at my highest level throughout my high school career, and I look excitedly forward to continuing to do so at the collegiate level. On and off the field, I value hard work and dedication, and strive to continuously better myself as both a person and a player.
