Frankie at bat St...Personal Statement
After graduating from HS in 2021, my goal is to find a college that allows me to excel as an athlete and a student. I am a multi-sport athlete playing baseball, football and basketball. My drive to succeed is also found in the classroom and in the field. I finished the 3rd quarter of my Junior Year with a 3.38. I am academically driven and have goals to become successful in the business field. Additionally, I have taken two mission trips to Mexico to practice Spanish and immerse myself in the culture.
I love being a Catcher! Throwing out runners at 2nd and back-picking runners is cool, but what I really love is stealing strikes by framing up for my pitcher. When there are runners in scoring position, I like to block and smother the ball holding them on base. My favorite thing is calling for that breaking ball and picking it in the dirt for the 3rd strike. I work with my pitchers to make them look good and to be a great teammate. Given the opportunity, I would like to bring my talent and hard working attitude to a college baseball program that is the right fit for me athletically and academically.
