Michael Tolerico '22 Recruiting Profile

As a Southern California athlete, I've played pretty much every sport growing up, but baseball has been my passion. I've played baseball since I was 4 years old. I've played on three travel ball teams since I was 9 years old. My parents were involved in a motorcycle accident when I was 8 years old and my Dad sustained a severe traumatic brain injury.  The challenges he has faced have been trying at times, but I've grown a lot through it all. I've learned how to handle difficult situations, be forgiving, have patience, be persistent and tolerant. I'm also a good listener and have been told by several coaches I am coachable. I try my best to perform what my coaches are asking of me and strive to be better everyday. I would love to play baseball in college and study sports medicine, and one day hope to be a physical therapist, in hopes I can help others and my dad.
