Eric (Layne) McClure '18 Recruiting Profile

My freshman year of high school was definitely a working year.  Having a

varsity  team with 6 seniors who all had committed to play college

baseball, it was obvious a freshman wasn't going to play varsity.  So I

knew I would have to work for a varsity spot my sophomore year.  That

dedication paid off because I was one of the top 3 guys in the varsity

pitching rotation during my sophomore year.  It really paid off when I

got the complete game win on the mound  against the number 7 team in the

state at that time.

After that win, my next start was against the top team in our region

which was also a complete game win.  This gave my team the number 1 rank

in our region.  Those 2 games made me realize all my commitment and

sacrifices were well worth it.  I am looking for a program that will fit

me athletically and academically as well.  I believe I not only have the

talent to compete at the college level, but the character, drive and

attitude to make an immediate impact on your program.
