Personal Statement

I'm a 2023 looking to get a quality education first and foremost. I plan to major in Business or History education.  I am also looking to become a part of a competitive baseball family that will challenge me and push me to be the best version of me that I can be. I can play all 3 outfield positions and pitch. Most would say speed and quickness or high baseball IQ are my biggest strengths. I think my character as a person and player is my strength. I am focused on being the best student, teammate and person that I can possibly be. I strive to help those around me do the same.  On and off the field, I am going to be ALL in and will give all I have to contribute in any way I can.  

Thanks,

Josh Spells

He gets into a low position and fields the ball out in front of his body. He throws from a 3/4 angle and keeps his throws accurate to his target. At the plate, this RHH sets up in a tall stance and drives through well with his lower half. He takes a short swing and sprays the ball to all fields.

Evaluation: "Josh is an athletic 2023 prospect that was eager to learn and made several adjustments throughout the weekend. At the plate, Josh starts in an open stance, he loads his hand back, and gets his front foot down on time. He gets to balance at contact, he has fast hands, and keeps the barrel on plane. He is a line drive hitter. Josh will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future."
