Personal Statement
Coaches.m
My name is Zak Broadway, I am a 16 year old-(11/4/2007) RHP/1B from Wellington, New Zealand. I was born in Fresno California, and my ultimate goal is to play college baseball. For a large portion of my life baseball has helped me find who I am as a person on and off. In New Zealand we dont have the largest player base so regional tournaments are not as frequent compared to other countries. Because of this most tournaments are at national and international levels, I have made multiple New Zealand rep teams and have gone to various places including Japan and Australia. Similarly I have also made multiple Wellington rep teams that have traveled within New Zealand including Nelson and Auckland. These tournaments are the primary form of exposure as it is hard to get recognized regionally as we lack players and scouts.
For me I have really enjoyed pitching ever since I first started as It has always been my strong suit. I throw a fastball that typically ranges between 80 to 81 mph with my peak velocity being 83. My pitch arsenal consists of a 2/4 Seam Fastball,Curveball, Splitter/Change up and Sweeper (Unfortunately I do not have spin rates etc). In regards to academics I would like to study Psychology.
I believe that my strengths are shown not only one field but everywhere. Even if I know I may not be the best out there I act like it, but with honour. I always give my best effort in the classroom, I always show respect to players,coaches and teachers whether or not they show it back, and last of all I am competitive. There's a quote that I live by "If you are not working hard every moment, thats a moment someone else is outworking you"
If there are any questions feel free to give me a call text etc, thank you for taking your time to read. Please also follow my Social media for videos and updates.
Yours sincerely Zak Broadway
