August 2020Personal Statement
While in college, the goals I plan to achieve include success with baseball, to finish with a degree in kinesiology/exercise sciences, and to display my leadership skills with all I do. My goal is to have a successful college baseball career, seeing how far my abilities can take me while allowing my hard work and dedication to the sport to shine on the field. The degree I plan to finish and receive is kinesiology/exercise sciences in order to enter the field of physical therapy. I believe displaying strong leadership skills will be important throughout my college years because it will allow me to stand out in both the classroom and on the diamond, being a leader and taking charge when it is needed.
I think what makes me stand out as a candidate for a college team is my aspiration to succeed together as a team, knowing that each team member has an important role. I show the leadership that a shortstop and pitcher needs, lifting up the team and driving them to play at their greatest potential. I know I can be a true leader both on and off the field and in the classroom. I am a good candidate for a college team because I bring multiple tools to the team. I believe I have the talent to be a successful collegiate athlete, and I would be able to become a quick leader once I know the team. I am a quick learner, I am always willing to learn new techniques and will be able to execute them efficiently.

- 12/13/2020 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Manalapan, NJ Ron is a lean SS/RHP who has a promising future on the diamond. At SS, defensive abilities are well above average as he displays smooth fluid actions. Feet are active and plays through with his body. Glove action is clean and presents more out front. He moves well laterally with range improving as he increase foot quickness. Throws are accurate with carry (84 mph velocity) across the diamond. At the plate, he continues to shine through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. On the mound, fastball ranges from 79-80 mph. Breaking ball shows 10/4 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sink. Slider is harder with tight spin and short break. Off speed stuff show as quality pitches that will get outs. Control is well above average as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. With 3 years to further develop, Ron has the makings of a special type player as he continues to progress his game
