Jack Hulinsky '24 Recruiting Profile

My name is Jack Hulinsky.  I am 5’11” and 160 lb.  My birthdate is August 3, 2005.  I am completing my freshman year in high school at Grand Island Central Catholic.  

I have been playing baseball since I was 7 years old.   I have played most of my career on a USSSA team.  I have competed against the best teams and players in Nebraska and have had great coaches.  In the fall of 2020, I played for the Prospects 2024 team.  On this team, we played teams from Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Nebraska.  During this time, I grew the most in my knowledge as a player and increased my skills rapidly.  This spring I played for Grand Island Senior High co-op team playing beside teammates from every high school in Grand Island and started every game.  I will be playing Legion baseball this summer.  In the winter, I am constantly working on my skills in indoor settings.  

What sets me apart from other players is my versatility on the field.  I can play most any position well including outfield, 3rdbase, 2nd base, pitcher and catcher.  I live for baseball and work hard literally every day at increasing my skills in various ways.  I have also worked one-on-one with coaches and players to increase my knowledge and skill.  My work ethic and zest for learning all I can is second to none.  I will play anywhere I am needed and put my trust in the coach to make the best decisions for the team.  

Although baseball is my passion, I am also passionate about my faith, my true lifelong friendships, my family, my dogs and serving the community.  I have been strongly influenced by my family, friends and school.  At Central Catholic, I have learned how to strive academically even when something is not a strength, developed good study habits to prepare for college and have received a well-rounded education and extra curricular activities.  In addition to baseball, I have participated in the school musical, choir, basketball, football and track.  I have volunteered for many school and community events.  I have begun umpiring for youth baseball games.  In my downtime, I enjoy hanging out with my friends.  

My goal is to play baseball in college.  I am interested in several different areas of study or vocations and am still doing career exploration.  I know whatever path I choose; I will work my hardest to live to my full potential.  I am open to different types of colleges but want a coach and team to work with that also gives their 100%.  I thrive in an environment that is constantly learning and improving.  

I appreciate your time in getting to know me more.
