Kennon "Deuce" Gutzman '24 Recruiting Profile

The difference between me and other players in the game of baseball is I'm willing to work and strive to be the best of the best. I may not always be the most talented and gifted player in the game but I have more heart than anybody on that field. I am considered a go getter by my friends and teachers and refuse to let challenges and obsticals stand in my way. I am lucky enough to be raised by what I consider the best parents I could've asked for, and they have raised me to be the most respectful and responsible person I can be and they have sacrificed so much for me. I am molded to be the best possible version of myself, but i always try to be better than I was yesterday. I wanted to play baseball when I was younger and quickly found that I have a love for the game. The game of baseball has taught me that not everyone can be the most talented, gifted, and successful but the person who wants it the most and is willing to sacrifice is the true winner of the game that we call baseball. Not only for baseball but even in life and school these principals apply, because i am willing to sacrifice and achieve every bit of success I can get. I have been blessed with caring parents and many role models who sacrifice for me. When problems arise I quickly adapt and find ways to overcome and do everything possible to achieve success and learn from it. My best trait is that I refuse to accept defeat, or not being the best I can, and choose to work on every aspect of myself (not only my game, but in life) to become better. This is what I love about baseball, and I carry into my daily life, you must improve daily to make a difference.
