Andrew Lojko '17 Recruiting Profile

October 2015Personal Statement
Playing College baseball has been a long term goal of mine for several years. This goal has driven me to work relentlessly on the field and in the classroom. It is this drive that has allowed me to succeed at both. There is no obstacle that I am not willing to work hard to overcome to achieve my dream of playing collegiate baseball. Presently I am the #4 ranked 3b in New England for the Class of 2017 by Prep Baseball Report as well as a RHP.
On and off the field, I strive to be a leader. Whether it is celebrating a good moment with my teammates or picking a teammate up when he is down, I am always looking to lead. This goes for when I am not playing as well. I have assisted coaching on youth travel teams in Trumbull as well as instructing at clinics for ages 9 to 12. I furthermore aided in religious instruction classes at my local parish. In the classroom I have made the honor roll in both my freshman and sophomore years. I have also been a member of the Latin Club.
I want to find a college that will challenge me on and off the field. I am open to many options in order to find the right school for me. I will be the most driven recruit you can find anywhere. A recruit who will give you everything he can on the field, off the field, and in the classroom.
