Ben Wiljanen Runn...Ben Wiljanen Pitc...Benjamin Wiljanen...Personal Statement
I strive for excellence and improvement in the classroom, and just earned a 3.93 average my Junior Year. On the field, I excel in 2 sports throughout the year: basketball (2 time MVP), and my true love, baseball during the spring and summer. I pitch with fluid mechanics taught by pitching coach, Dan Galaz, disguise all of my pitches, and get many ground balls and strikeouts to keep my pitch count low and throw deep into games. I put in the time to improve my body off in the off season with strength and conditioning coaches. I know what it means to be part of a team that plays for each other to win championships, leading my Field of Champions team to back to back Seattle Elite Gold Division Championships in 2018 and 2019, and the prestigious Washington State Art Wright 16U Tournament in May 2019. I'm still growing in size, and ability, so keep an eye on me.
