Personal Statement

Coach,

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile and personal statement. My goal is to attend an excellent school and play college baseball at the highest level to continue my growth and development as a student athlete. To that end, I recently received multiple D1 offers at high academic schools and committed to the admission process at Harvard University.

Throughout my life, I have excelled at both the game of baseball and in academics.  In the classroom, I have a 4.3 GPA at Novi High School while taking several honors and AP classes.  I also scored a 1450 on the SAT.

On the field, I have excelled on many highly competitive teams as a three sport athlete.  I was only the third freshman in 25 years to make the varsity team in baseball at Novi High School, and I also earned a varsity letter in football as a sophomore and a two way starter as a junior.  I led my varsity high school baseball team to many wins in one of the most competitive conferences in Michigan.  Last season, I posted a 0.768 ERA with a 0.9 WHIP with 35K and 10 BB in 27.1 IP posting an overall 11-4 record the last two seasons.  For summer ball, I have competed well against very competitive teams in the midwest and nationally.  I also have a strong bat in the lineup and hit .392 last summer with a .489 OBP.  

I was named All State Academic, All Conference (2x), All District (2x), and to Perfect Game All American and PBR Future Games teams. I was recently invited to two showcases where I was sitting 87-89 MPH and hit 90 several times on the radar gun, while throwing strikes.

I am a very driven student athlete and train five days a week, while making academics the highest priority.  I welcome the opportunity to learn about your school and baseball program.

Sincerely, 

Andrew Abler
