Braden Blackwell '23 Recruiting Profile

I’m so thankful for the opportunities and blessings in my life and grateful for the support of my family, friends, coaches, and teammates. I’m a baseball kid and loved the game since I could walk. I’ve played both baseball and basketball since I was 5 years old and competed all through school. I also enjoy fishing and teaching myself to play the guitar when I’m not on the field.

At the end of the 2022 Spring Season playing in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH), I ended the season as tied for first place in most wins as a pitcher and placed second in the ILH with the lowest ERA.  I also ended the season at 5-0 as a starting pitcher. 

I’ve always had the drive to push myself to be the best that I can be, and baseball will test your grit and resilience each time you step on the field. My goal has always been to attend and graduate from a college with a strong academic and competitive baseball program.

Given the opportunity, I'd be excited and honored to showcase my skills as an RHP and/or 3B position and convey my dedication, strong work ethic, competitive edge, and commitment as a team player and community member.
