Landon Skinner '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello,

I am a 5’8”,  160 lb.  I started on varsity as a center fielder and also at 3rd base my Junior year season.  For my senior year I will be the starting shortstop. I throws and bat right handed.  I am currently a Senior at Danville Community High School (class of 2023) located in Danville, IN.  I have been playing baseball since I was 5 years old and on a competitive level since I was eight years old.  For the summer of 2021 I playing travel baseball for the Indiana Braves and voted MVP for the season.  My current travel team for the summer of 2022 is the Midwest Astros out of Avon, IN.  I am very excited for the opportunity to take my game to the next level and play against some of the nation's top level talent.  I love the game of baseball and my biggest strong point is my work ethic and being a true leader on and off the field.  My main position is center-field, but I can and will play anywhere in the best interest of the team.  I just love being on the field competing and being a part of a team.  I am looking for a university where I can find the right balance between the classroom and the diamond.  I also would like to land at a college that focuses on the success of the students and has a respectable graduation rate as well as high percentage of future employment.  Ideally, I would like to be at a program where I could contribute to the team in any aspect and have an early impact on the field as well.
