Angel Colón '22 Recruiting Profile

I have dreamed of playing college baseball for as long as I can remember. My dad would take me out west when he coached in the California Collegiate League where I was his bat boy and had the opportunity to be around top level collegiate players who inspired me like big brothers.  Baseball is my passion and I have grown to love the game since picking up a ball, bat and glove at 4 years of age. The bond I share with my dad through the game we love means the world to me, his emphasis on school is something I take pride in because he has always said "if you don't hit the books, you can't hit the baseball." I pride myself in my work ethic on and off the field, the lessons I've learned through the game I love have also instilled the values which I hold dear in my day to day life. Be on time, work hard, set a good example to others and be an even better teammate and person than I am a player. I try to bring a tireless work ethic and positive attitude into all that I do. The pride of my family and respect of my teammates, opponents and coaches means everything to me. I've been blessed with the athletic ability to play a great game, so I give my best effort every time I lace them up for as long as I am given the opportunity to play the game I love.
