Luke Ruby '22 Recruiting Profile

Pitching in the Colorado state championship as a freshman has been the highlight of my baseball career.  Although runner-up was the best we could do that day, nothing compares to the experience you get playing in a state championship. 

I work hard and love playing baseball…but so do thousands of other student athletes like me. I’m sure you read hundreds of personal statements about why baseball players love playing baseball, and I do love baseball…but I believe it takes more than just loving the game to be a great baseball player. I’m a dual sport athlete in baseball and basketball. I understand the importance of hard work but having fun at life is important too, I feel a good sense of humor is important.  I enjoy school, but I have to work hard to do well and get the grades I want. I want to attend a university where I can study business, law, and sports and hopefully find a career where I can use all three.

I’m grateful God has blessed me with the talent to play baseball at a high level. Even though I get very excited about the game, I like to show control on the baseball field. I’ve been described in articles as having “great composure and presence on the mound.” I can consistently hit my spots and make my pitches. As a result, I’m often put in the game when the situation requires someone that can stay calm under pressure and pound the strike zone.

I look forward to finding a university where I can achieve my academic goals as well as use my skills to add value to the baseball team.
