Robert Hipwell Ba...Personal Statement
I am a three-sport athlete from Santa Cruz, CA and just finished my Junior year at Scotts Valley High School. This past summer, I was on the USA BASEBALL 16u Team representing the Northwest Region. We won the 2019 Champions Cup Gold Medal! I was very honored to be named a 2020 Under Armour Pre-Season All-American and just recently rated a Perfect Game 9 and ranked the #3 - 3B in California.
In addition to baseball, I played competitive basketball and football for several years. Going forward, I will focus my efforts heavily on baseball attending college prospect camps, combines, showcases, and will work with my coaches both on and off the field to get better every day! My goal is to play baseball in college.
Baseball has helped shape the person I am today from the teams I have been on, friends I have made, my coaches, and the overall experiences I have had both good and bad.
I understand that to play baseball in college, strong academic performance is very important. I ended my Junior year with a 3.74 GPA taking 14 honors and IB / College level courses in Math, Science and World Studies. In my Senior year, I am taking honors classes in Physics, English and IB classes in History and Math. I plan to study business in college.
Outside of competitive sports, I like snowboarding, water sports and fishing. I also enjoy music and playing piano. I also have a big passion for cars.
I love baseball and am excited about playing at the next level. My goals are to get the best education at a school that is the right fit for me, to grow as a person and a baseball player! I have the drive and passion to succeed!
