Kobe Jackson '17 Recruiting Profile

Since a young age, I knew that my passion was baseball.  The older I got the more encouraging words I received from mentors and ultimately got the opportunity to join  a travel team (CNY Pioneers).  I was constantly playing baseball year round and I was never happier. From this team, I became a better person learning responsibility,  accountability, and maturity.  Entering high school I was nervous about my future not sure what was to come. However, I found myself back on the baseball field and everything fell into place.  As a ninth grader, I earned a varsity spot  and managed to gel well with my teammates. I had to grow up fast taking on a starting spot at only 14. From this position,  I emerged as leader on and off the field. I know the importance of an education and I put just as much effort into school as I do in baseball. I would consider my best quality adaptation throughout my career I have been put on to teams and learned to work with them very well  Additionally, I have a unique passion for baseball.  If I am not playing it I am watching trying to improve my skills constantly working to live my dream. Lastly, my collegiate goals and aspiration, its simple be the best I can while helping my team win. It is typical to say my goal is the  MLB , I would love that but I just want to play baseball for as long as I can.
