Philip Marcello '21 Recruiting Profile

My whole life I've been taught to think about family first. My grandfather is an immigrant from Greece who will always push these morals into my life the best he can.  I believe strongly that this family background help draw me to baseball.  When I started playing tee ball as just a little 4 year old I not only loved the game but being together with my team and the teamwork revolved around it.  Playing baseball throughout my whole life since that young age has further cemented this idea in my head.

Beyond obviously looking for a program to play collegiate baseball at, I am looking for the best possible education I can get.  I've always been pushed by my family to do the best I can do in school. I believe I have done this well by maintaining honor roll grades while playing varsity sports year round.  During all sports seasons, but especially baseball season, I have always prided myself on being a good teammate.  Playing the game means a lot to me but it wouldn't be anything without the teammates who've been with me along the way.
