Anthony Harris '22 Recruiting Profile

I envision my college years to be a personal growth period. My goal is to explore a business major that will position me well for life after college. On the field, I plan to be a dynamic player and positive influence on the team. As I grow both physically and mentally throughout my baseball career, I will strive to be an asset to the team wherever needed. Most importantly, I will conduct myself with honor and respect on and off the field.

Losing the district Championship game last year was devastating to me but I had to overcome that loss and come into this season stepping up as a leader. Knowing that the way I carry myself reflects my team, my coaches and the school I attend.

Most of my life my dad served in the Army, I have attended school in five different cities and moved regularly. To me, this is normal.

When you grow up with a very mobile life, seeking new opportunities and pursuing passions in a new area becomes attractive. You feel a sense of freedom, and have a unique ability to be able to dive headfirst into something new. When you don’t like feeling “stuck,” your only other option is to move forward. Moving creates a sense of self-confidence, proving to yourself that you can overcome obstacles. Baseball gives me that change I have become accustomed too, every day is something new.

You realize what is truly important. The house I spent a few years in before moving off to Colorado, It’s just a house. The school I went to for part of 7th grade, Is just one of many. Regardless of how, the experiences you gain, the friendships you build, and the family you go through hardships with are things that you realize can never be taken away from you.

At 16 years old, I have lived across the country, built up lasting friendships across the world, and have an adaptable, ambitious character capable of handling change and overcoming obstacles on and off the field.
