John Holtz '23 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing as a catcher since I was 5 years old, playing travel baseball since I was 8. I am a catcher by nature.  Though I have played, and can play any position.   I traveled to play baseball since I live in California and we were shut down for a large portion of our 2020-2021 season due Covid.  I have recently grown, I'm currently 6'-1", 190lbs, and still growing, and continue to get stronger  from working hard physically. I believe my biggest assets are my arm strength, hitting average, and baseball knowledge. I have been fortunate to be recently mentored by some great coaches which made a huge difference in my progress, as my significant improvements in my metrics can attest over the last year. I am feeling confident and continue to work hard so that I can meet the demands and prove myself at a quality program.  I want to find a school and baseball program that share my values. I want to play for a coach who can teach me more about the the game I love.  I am competitive and believe I have the fundamental baseball skills both physically and mentally to compete at the highest level. I have been working on my grades and currently have the best grades of my high school career.  I am very open to different programs to find the right fit.  I am looking to find a great baseball program, staff and players, and a school where we work together to make each other better, both in sports and life. I have learned so many lessons in baseball that make me a better and stronger athlete and have built my character which is important to me to continue in a positive direction. I want to commit as soon as possible.  Trust is paramount in my search. I want a positive environment built on earned and proven trust and character. If this sounds like something you offer and believe in, I would love to speak with a representative of your program.
