Julian Perales '24 Recruiting Profile

My name is Julian Ronaldinho Perales, a 5’10” Lefty Outfielder in my senior year at Santa Paula High School in Santa Paula, California.  I come from a small town but I have BIG dreams/goals. My middle name is Ronaldinho because my dad originally planned to have a soccer player, however as a very young child I absolutely fell in love with baseball, playing, watching, all of it.  My love and passion for the sport has never diminished. Currently, I am a four-year varsity high school player. I was grateful to have the opportunity to play on varsity as a freshman where I learned a lot from my fellow teammates as well as my coaches. I had a breakout sophomore year hitting five home runs and voted defensive player of the year for my team. In addition, I was voted first team all league for the citrus league. My junior year was a tough season however, in sports and in life when things get hard, you don’t give up you work harder. It was important that I continue to believe in myself, my passion, skill, talent, and ability. I know what I am capable of, and I’m looking forward to continuing my baseball career and taking this dream as far as I can. I’m working hard to have an incredible 2024 season individually, and as a team! I will bring passion, positivity, and dedication to any team/school I am lucky enough to play for.
