Nicholas Ruffler '20 Recruiting Profile

Life, school, and sports have always been a place for me to compete. No matter the level or circumstance. Baseball has been the love of my life since I was 5. Starting in T-ball I became obsessed. Since then its been a journey to where I am today. Clearly high school is more than sports though as I maintain a 3.8-9 GPA while taking all honors and AP courses. I play on a very successful high school team at New Milford High School. Finishing our season 3rd in our conference. Stats aren’t the only thing that matter as this season taught me the value of family and the brotherhood baseball brings. This year showed me respect, discipline, as well as patience due to how our season started versus how it ended. I had a successful season pitching in 5 games, but clearly the teams overall performance is more important. As a pitcher I have good control on 4 pitches as well as movement on all. I throw a 4 and 2 seam fastball, a curveball, and a change. College baseball has always been a dream and as I would love to play this game as long as possible. Baseball is something I don’t want to stop at 18, as I want to keep working and competing. Again, competing will always be my first instinct and I want to continue to compete as long as possible.
