Mihir Manerikar '23 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to become a respectable individual on and off the baseball field, and I plan to do this by training hard and studying hard. I believe that my position versatility (ability to play all infield/outfield positions + pitcher & catcher with efficiency) allow me to be a solid and consistent contributor to any team as a utility player. My academics have always been a basis for my gameplay to flourish, being allowed into good high schools with exceptional teams, as a "enhanced" test taken in grade 1 has allowed me to partake in a special class for students with higher academic capabilities called "enhanced learning".

On and off the field, I like to lead by example instead of explanation. I believe the best way to make a difference on the team is to be the difference and always give maximum effort to my tasks.  Personally, the motto I live by is; "I can I will I must". I apply this to my everyday life to motivate me to always strive for greatness and to be the best person that I can be. 

Particularly on the field, my consistent line-drive approach to all parts of the field allows me to have effective at-bats in a multitude of situations. My fielding capabilities both in the infield and outfield allow me to help my team out on a consistent basis and to give my coaches the ability to have leeway in terms of positioning for big games. 

Most importantly, I pride myself on being a respectful individual. These characters traits develop through knowledge, and knowledge for me is on the field working my hardest, and at home studying my hardest.
