Mitchell Collins '23 Recruiting Profile

I fell in love with the game of baseball at an early age.  As a toddler, my mom and me traveled every weekend with my dad, who was a competitive softball player. At his games, my dad would take my around to visit vendor booths to swing bats and try out gloves. The older I got, my love for the game grew stronger and stronger.  I would hit and field daily.   In elementary and middle school, I played with club teams.

Academically, I excel in the classroom.  I bring that same tenacity to the field.  I am successful in the classroom and on the baseball field because I believe in myself, set goals for improvement and teachable.   I have a positive attitude and encourage my teammates as much as myself.   

I can pitch, catch, and play the middle in-field.  I am a valuable team member anywhere on the field. My strength lies in my quick hands and fast feet. Consistently for the past 16 years, I work on getting better, bigger, stronger, and faster on the baseball field.

My goals include playing college baseball and earning my four-year degree in Education.  I want to serve others in whatever profession I choose.   My long-term goal is to play professional baseball
