Diego Beltran-Vivoni '25 Recruiting Profile

Since I started playing baseball my vision was always bigger than everybody elses. At 3 years old I started playing the game that I now love, baseball. When the years kept passing by, my aspirations and my passion for the game were growing, and they still are. My main focus at the moment is to commit to a college. Something that separates me from the other players is my passion for the game. Since I was a little kid, every time I started to do something I couldn't stop until I got it right, and although baseball is a sport of trial and error but I always try my best to outperform my past self. This also translates to school, when there's a topic I don't understand I keep trying until the job is finished. I have a 4.0 GPA. Although grades don't dictate your intelligence, they can still determine your commitment, competitiveness and focus. You have to be an intelligent person to be a baseball player, because like many people would agree, baseball is a mental sport. Mainly in my position as a catcher I have to be aware of everything that's going around in the field and be able to lead the game. Leadership is a virtue every catcher needs to have and since I'm a catcher, being a leader comes in my blood. The most important thing in baseball is the brain of a player, because it can dictate whether or not the player is capable of being a professional. 

Sincerely,
Diego Beltran-Vivoni
