Reagan Harris '21 Recruiting Profile

My college years will be a period of personal growth. I will succeed in a business or engineering program that will position me well for improving and developing our countries energy infrastructure. On the field, I plan to be a dynamic player and a positive influence on the team. As I grow both physically and mentally throughout my college baseball career, I will strive to be an asset to the coaches, team, pitchers, defense, and batting line-up. Most importantly, I will conduct myself with honor and respect on and off the field, knowing that the way I carry myself reflects my team, my coaches and the school I attend.

The highlight of my baseball career continues to be overcoming limitations and pessimism from others through leadership, actions on the field and a willingness to work for success no matter what it takes. Some notable limitations that I’ve heard from others and overcome include:

• As a freshman, I was too young to win the starting catchers job over an incumbent Senior and we lost too many players to return to postseason play after a two-year absence;
• As an 8^th grader, I was too young to win the starting catchers job over an incumbent Sophomore;
• As a 14U player, there was no way we could win the East Coast World Series against a majors team since we were out of pitching and our catcher had to pitch;
• As an 11 year old, our team was too young to win the State Dixie Championship and compete in the Ozone World Series;
• As a 9-year-old, our team was too young to win the State and Complete in the AAA World Series.

The list above is a small sample of overcoming odds during my career where I’ve learned to know exactly who I am, to become addicted to achieving success and not to be intimidated by pressure or limitations from others.

I'm looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically as well as academically. I believe I not only have the talent to compete for a college team, but the character, work ethic, and leadership skills to make an immediate impact on your program. As a two-sport athlete and captain, I know that I have what it takes to be a leader on your team!
