Sean Furuta '16 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5’9 130 lb junior infielder from Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. I've been involved with competitive travel baseball teams since I was 10 years old, capturing state and regional titles along the way. My sophomore year I was leading the team in offensive categories including Avg., OBP, and SLG%. I carry an unweighted 3.89 GPA on a 4.0 scale with a current courseload of 7 AP/Honors classes. I believe two of my best qualities would be my work ethic and my coachability.  I am willing to work as hard as I can for improvement and success.  I am a good listener and a fast learner which makes me a very coachable player.  Outside of baseball, I belong to the high school speech and debate team.  I compete in the national level debate tournaments.  I develop my logical thinking through debate competition activities.  Also, I competed in 2014 TSA National completion in Washington D.C. with my teammates and won third place.

I am interested in a most selective school because academics is my number one priority and success in the classroom precedes success on the field, although both are extremely important.
