Joey Acla '22 Recruiting Profile

Baseball has always been one of the most influential factors in my life and has molded me into the person I am today. Starting way back before even tee ball, I picked up a bat and almost instantaneously fell in love. This passion has carried with me through the rest of my life so far and has led me to strive to play at the next level. Being that education is so important to me, I strive to attend a university where I can both receive a quality education along with having the opportunity to play baseball through my collegiate career. On the baseball side of things, due to the fact that I am an Eagle Scout, two of my biggest attributes in sports are leadership and dedication, which I believe are vital to be a college player.  Another quality I bring to the table is energy. On both my travel and school teams, I am known as the kid that keeps the spirits high in the dugout and the one that keeps the team in the game mentally. These skills and traits are essential and help aid in team success, which is what we drive for day in and day out. Overall, I am a hardworking and lively leader who can slide into many different rosters and make an impact both on the field and off.
