Jake Vitale '21 Recruiting Profile

My goal since I’ve been at parkland Parkland College is to move on to the best possible program and to get my bachelors degree.I have worked for everything I've accomplished thus far in life and I take that work ethic into everything I do from athletics to academics. I have had many setbacks in my life from the beginning and I made it through and those times help keep me motivated, even on the days when I'm tired, sore, or just don't really feel like putting work in. This is one huge reason why I chose to go to a JUCO and specifically Parkland because they have the same mentality. That being said, I have the drive to win, I love to compete at everything I do and to push myself to the limits of what I can do. Academically, I love to learn, I've always had a natural curiosity about the world and people and I even spend my free time learning about new topics that interest me. This curiosity also follows into the game of baseball I love being a student of the game because there are so many different ideas within the game and different philosophies of the game and I enjoy learning about them and taking pieces of those and putting them into my arsenal.
