Brandon Smith '20 Recruiting Profile

When I was younger I always aspired to be a higher level player and hoping I can get the chance to play higher level ball. I constantly pushed myself to become better than the other player on the diamond. I watched my first professional game when I was 12 and instantly I knew I wanted to aspire to become a great baseball player either in my community or at the national level. How the players made crazy plays that left the crowd cheering in admiration. How the game was interesting from start to finish as they pushed themselves to make more runs and stop the runs form coming in. This leads me to become a baseball player who wanted to lead by example rather than trying to become a leader. I wanted to be seen as the person who puts in work even after practice is done, so I could strive for my goal of becoming the best baseball player I could be. I constantly pushed myself to a point where my teammates started to follow in my lead and start to better themselves. I helped them when the time was hard on our team, mainly when my team was behind and we needed runs, I would make a well-needed play to bring my team's spirits up and then it takes off. I think I would be a good fit for your team because I think I would be a great team player who would expect much form both older and younger players. I also think I would make a great fit for your team because of my work ethic. I am going to push myself to become a better player. This would also go for my academics, I am going to strive for the best grades that I can make. Striving for making a good name for myself and my parents and community I would be representing.
