2023 Baseball Fac...2023 Baseball Fac...2023 Baseball Fac...2021 Baseball Fac...Personal Statement
It has always been a dream of mine to compete at the collegiate level and succeed. Since I have the right tools and mindset, I feel my goal stands a couple steps away. Baseball has surrounded me all my life whether playing travel ball, or for Baseball Factory where I am currently at playing in tournaments or showcases. Baseball has played a very important factor in my life, as it creates a mentality of a hard work-ethic to strive for success on and off the field. I personally believe that whatever you put into something is what you're going to get out, and knowing the amount of work I put into the game I can always have confidence on the diamond. Due to baseball existing as one of the many team sports I participate in, it has always been necessary for me to put my teammates first and encourage them also to strive for greatness. My parents repeatedly taught me to always compete at 110% in whatever I face, and if someone tells me my job, I do it to the maximum effort. To reiterate, I can see myself in the future playing college baseball and I know how to get there. Through hard, honest work.
