Andrew Kaatz '21 Recruiting Profile

Baseball is my dream. For as long as I can remember I have always been drawn to this sport. Through all my hardships, adversity, and discouragement it has always been there for me. My goal is to pursue this sport to the highest level possible and play as long as I can. I am 5’10" tall, and weigh 160 pounds. I’ve always been smaller than most, but through that I have learned to work twice as hard. Which has prepared me for the next level. Also, being a three sport athlete has had a huge effect on me and has forced me to step up my game enormously which includes the weight room nearly year round. This previous season in baseball was really difficult as I, like many others, had my Junior year opportunity canceled.  I spent this summer playing for NW Diamond Sports Academy in Tualatin, Oregon, and am preparing for an upcoming fall baseball season.  The environment and players I am around within our high school program as well as NW Diamond, have really boosted me in a way that challenges me to strive to be the greatest version of myself possible. And coming into my senior year, I will be looked to as a leader for both programs.  It will be my responsibility to train and perform at a high level, all while being a great teammate.  I am looking forward to the challenge and will to do whatever it takes.
