2023 Spotlight #2Personal Statement
****Update: I will now be switching from 2025 to a 2026 recruit because even though I will be graduating Waterford High School in 2025 (at 16 yrs old), I am now planning to attend prep school at Phillips Academy Andover for a post grad year (17) and start college in 2026 (at 18).**** I am a high-energy, determined student athlete and leader who excels both in the classroom and on the field. My goal is to play competitive baseball at a high academic school. Being young has never held me back. It has only made me work harder to succeed throughout my baseball career. Game knowledge and natural skills have propelled me into leadership positions on multiple teams. I work hard, cheer on teammates and love to compete. In a pressure situation, I am the one who wants to get the job done and pull through for my team, and I will continue to do so at your school.
