Anthony Ponzo '23 Recruiting Profile

I will like to attend a college to play baseball at the highest level possible and where the coaches think I will fit the best and be able to succeed  

My sports life has revolved around baseball since I was 5 years old. As I moved through the Little League divisions, a honorable highlight was being chosen for the 10U travel team for the Merillon Sharks Baseball Academy.  I have participated in many tournaments throughout these last 5 years (Cal Ripken, CT Sportsplex wood bat, Cooperstown Dream park [2017 Golden Arm finalist and multiple homeruns], Maryland Nationals tournament with national invite badge,  Baseball Heaven).

Being chosen to join my high school varsity baseball team as a freshman was an honor and a testament to my play in middle school.  However with the Covid-19 outbreak,  the spring high school and travel team schedules were all cancelled.  Thankfully I have continued to be a member of the travel team with a summer league/tournaments schedule and fall 2020 tournaments.  I also have weekly pitching and batting lessons with Coach Keith Couch (Adelphi University and Boston Red Sox organization).

Committment to athletics and academics, paired with my strong determination, has helped me through my school years as well as my travel baseball team competition.  Most people think that baseball is a springtime sport.  With baseball on my mind and in my heart, I am now a 4-season player.
