akerschris202115UPersonal Statement
My goals for college as an athlete and a student are to pursue baseball and academics at their highest level and to continue to grow as an athlete and a student in college and life.
As a catcher on the field of play I contribute to our team by positioning fielders, calling plays and pitches within the game. I provide a solid contact hitter with good power. Hitting .350 across the season with 143 at bats, 5 home runs and 30 RBI's.
As a leader on and off the field, I lead by example. Mentoring players in their positions and continue to stay positive in the face of adversity.
