Julius Bolstad '23 Recruiting Profile

Baseball has been a love of mine since I was little.  I remember hitting wiffle balls in the back yard with my dad when I was five and six years old, and I never wanted those sessions to end.  I played every spring for Little League and school teams since I was five and started playing for fall-ball/tournament teams when I was ten years old.  My role on my teams has been as a reliable, hard-working, and positive contributor.  I don't get rattled in tough situations.

My goal for the future--both tomorrow and ten years from now--is to be my best at whatever I do.  I have been described by adults as a "good person" and an "upstanding young man."  I credit my parents and the adults who led my scout troops and coached my sports teams for helping me grow up well.  I appreciate the teachings they have provided, and the opportunities presented to me.  I do not take them for granted.

I am currently working on my Eagle Scout project and plan on having it completed soon.  I enjoy fishing, fabricating, gardening, and playing basketball, both for my school as well as pickup games with my friends.  I live on three acres and we have a large garden, beef cattle, 120 blueberry plants, and fruit trees.  I enjoy riding quads and dirt bikes, and working on engines.  I work at a ranch a few days a month.

My school experience has been great, and I haven't missed a day of school for years.  My favorite classes are agriculture, biology, chemistry, and metal fabrication.  My parents are teachers (my dad is now a fireman) so a love of learning has been fostered since I was young.

I want to play baseball in college, and beyond.  I am prepared to develop and hone my craft to achieve that goal.  

Thank you,

Julius Bolstad
