Christian Madera '15 Recruiting Profile

My aspirations are to play baseball at the collegiate level while getting my masters in Criminology.  Ever since I was a little boy I knew I wanted to play baseball. Growing up and watching Derek Jeter play, I always strived to be like him on and off the field. I am constantly working on improving myself and my overall game. I work very hard to become the best baseball player and person I can be. I am a great leader, I help my teammates push themselves and have them push me to my full potential. I always want to learn and keep adjusting my game to become more productive.  Baseball is more than a game to me it is my life. Baseball is a game of failure; you will fail more than you will succeed. A person that has a batting average of 300 lifetime is considered a hall of fame hitter, which means he failed 7 times more than he succeeded. That is what makes baseball the hardest and the greatest game to play. What makes me different from most players is that I am  constantly am being told by my coaches that I have a high baseball IQ. I might not be the most talented player on the field but I can guarantee that no other player plays harder and works harder and has the most passion for the game of baseball.
