Vincent Powers '20 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'9 freshman shortstop from Colonia, NJ and I attend JFK High School. In the early Spring, we get most of our work indoors, but I have already been named Captain of my Freshman team. I have also received a JV jersey, and I'm working hard in hopes of contributing to the Junior Varsity program this Season.

I have been playing Baseball competitively since I was ten years old both in USABL and with tournament teams. I have played in numerous Diamond Nation and Perfect Game tournaments and gained valuable experience playing against the best talent in my area. I consider myself a shortstop/middle infielder, but I have learned that possessing ability in all positions on the field benefits me and my team tremendously. By allowing my Coach to play me in the outfield and letting others play infield, I realized that we were a stronger unit. I believe my versatility on the field to be my greatest asset.

Academically, I have interests in Criminal Justice, Forensics and Public Service. Being raised in a Law Enforcement family, campus safety is always a concern. Ideally, I would like to play Baseball in a warm weather climate, but I am also looking to make an impact early in my college career. I am open to all types and levels of schools, including military institutions.
