Michael Patterson '09 Recruiting Profile

Hello my name is Michael Patterson. I am a 19 year old Sophmore student-athlete from Piscataway, New Jersey. I played my Freshman year at Montclair State University. I was on the Varsity traveling team and made the most out of the few opportunities I was given.Out of 16 plate appearances; I had 9 at bats, scored 7 runs, and batted .333, with an on base percentage .429. As a Biology major, I have maintained a 3.0 GPA and completed my Freshman year as well as the Fall season of my Sophmore year at MSU before transferring to MCC. I am now attending Middlesex County College under Head Coach Mike Lepore. I am 5'9, 165lbs and I run a 6.8 second 60 yard dash. I am a scrappy young player who embodies speed on the base path. However, I believe that speed is not valuable without knowing how to properly run the bases. I pride myself on the saying "hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard". It is important to me to always improve on the baseball field. I am looking for a school that upholds some of these same values. The team that shows interest in me will recieve all of my devotion and commitment. I will be the best player that I can be, however I will not set any goals for myself. I believe that by setting goals, I am also setting limits.I refuse to limit my abilities. Thankyou, Michael Patterson
