Talon Ottens '26 Recruiting Profile

I have always been a person that thrives on competition.  My parents say that everything in my life has always been a contest and this has carried over into my work ethic for baseball and life. I come from a family that has raised me with strong Christian values.  I enjoy baseball, fishing, hunting, working out, and working with my Grandfather on his farm.  

I am someone that is committed to constant improvement.  This summer just before summer ball was supposed to start I was practicing with a friend.  He hit a line drive that caught me in the face and shattered my cheekbone.  The doctors restricted me from playing baseball until I was healed enough to return to my team.  I had to fight back with hard work in the gym and on the practice field to get back to playing and doing what I love. 

It is my desire to continue my improvement through hard work and to always get better.  I want to find a program where I can be a part of a supportive team and contribute to the success of that team.
