November 2019Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Keaton Willard. My main goal in life(as of right now) is trying to find the best college that suits me. Although I am not picky, I would like to go to a Division 1 college. As you might already know I play baseball, and have been dedicated to it since I was 4-5 years old. Even though I do love baseball, I also do well in the classroom.(With my GPA being 4.2/4.0 last year). My intended major is something in the field of biology or chemistry.I currently taking 2 AP courses and a college credit class. Going back to baseball though, I'm a full team player. I can play almost anywhere, and work on anything to get better. I also have a great baseball philosophy. I know the game very well, and most of the strategic advantages in it. As for my playing ability, I'm a utility player, but my best positions would be RHP, shortstop, and third base. I also have a decent bat and I bat left-handed, always hitting for contact and average, but I am more of a power hitter who hits the gap. Overall I am a well rounded player who is reliable. Unfortunately I had to miss the 2018-2019 baseball season at South Stokes high school for UCL reconstruction surgery. However, I’m gotten back to where I was before, and continuing to improve. I am very determined not to let this injury affect my athletic ability. I also have a YouTube Channel, KT Willard with baseball videos uploaded to it.
