PERSONAL STATEMENT
A student athlete is a title I wear proudly. I love not only the challenge of balancing the school work and athletic work, but the friendships that I make along the way. I am now a senior in high school, and I have managed to maintain a 3.8 GPA, along with being a starting player on the varsity baseball team. Representing my school on and off the field is something that I cherish each and every day, and I enjoy the commitment to the team. Baseball is and always will be a huge part of my life, and my only goal is to play the sport for as long as I possibly can. I am looking forward to what my future has in store for me, and I am excited to pursue a career that I love.

Recommendation: Nick is an elite infielder who will contribute to a college program in the future. His mobility and range allows him to play any of the infield positions and has an above average arm to make all of the long throws from shortstop. Nick does a good job using his feet to put him in the best position to field a baseball. Offensively Nick has above average power for his size. As he grows and physically matures, his power will increase as well. He has a consistent swing that leads to hard contact. His speed gives opposing teams a challenge as well when he is on the bases. His aggressive approach and intelligent baserunning makes him a threat to steal any base. On the mound, Nick has a lot of potential to be a dominate pitcher. He has good feel for his breaking ball and changeup which compliments his above average fastball. Again, as he physically matures and develops, his stuff will improve even more.

Recommendation: Nick is a solid middle infielder with good actions showing range to both forehand and backhand plays. He moves well on the infield displaying strong arm strength on all throws. He also shows abilities as a two-way player as on the mound he really shines filling it up with 3 pitches and working downhill with authority. Fastball topping out at 82 to go along with off-speed at 67-68 range. At the plate he works from an open stance showing a solid swing making lots of hard contact. He is a very balanced hitter that takes aggressive swings in any count. Overall Nick’s athletic ability allows him to translate to multiple positions at the next level and will continue to project as a two-way player.
