    Dear Coach ,


    I am very interested in continuing my baseball career in college. Having the opportunity to continue my career through a program, becoming an all around better ball player, would be a great opportunity. I bat and throw right-handed and currently play centerfield and leadoff bat for the Cary High School Varsity team.

    Last year I played baseball for Cary High Varsity and Sr. Legion Post 67 teams, where I excelled in centerfield. It was a great experience to play with mostly college players on the Sr. Legion team. I finished the season with a .314 on base percentage and, out of 212 innings, a defensive average of .92. On both teams, I started centerfield and batted first or last. I am looking forward to fantastic High School and Legion seasons this year.

    In 2005 and 2006, I played on the Cary Bulls Junior Legion Post 67 team. The first year, I played 178 innings with a 1.0 fielding percentage, making no errors for the season. I received the “Hustle” award that season. In 2006, the Cary Bulls won the State title. I played 268 innings with a .945 fielding percentage, almost exclusively in centerfield, and had a .343 batting average, scoring 55 runs. Coaches labeled me as the best centerfielder in the county. I received the “Hustle” and “Defense” awards for the season.

    Over the years, coaches have described me as a well-trained base runner with good speed, athletic with a strong arm, mechanically solid, makes good contact at the plate, has a good knowledge of the strike zone, and is an enthusiastic team player that practices hard, plays hard, has good work ethics, and mentors other players.

    As a well-rounded athlete and student, I played several sports, including baseball, wrestling, and soccer while maintaining a 4.1 GPA and a SAT score of 1580. I have been taking mostly AP and Honors courses, while on a fast track Math and College curriculum. In doing so, I have developed good work ethics and leadership skills. I am also a member of the Young Life Christian and Fellow Christian Athletes groups.

    I would appreciate the opportunity to be a part of your baseball team. I have really worked hard over the past year and continue to improve in all areas. I would also like to invite you and your staff to visit our games this spring (http://www.freewebs.com/caryhighbase...eschedules.htm ).

    Thanks so much for your consideration. With good work ethics and the right chance, I am confident that I can fulfill my goal of playing college baseball. References will be provided at your request.


    Best Regards,
