November 2014Personal Statement
Since the the first day I held a baseball in one hand and a glove in the other I have loved this sport with a passion. I am focused on one thing when I am out on the diamond. Working hard. There is not one game I will be seen playing without my head in the game and sweat dripping down my face. I will always give 100% and keep a positive attitude while doing it.
I strive just as hard, if not harder in school as I do on the field. Succeeding in school is extremely important to me. If I am not playing baseball or working on my game, I am studying for a test or working on an upcoming project. I know these habits will carry on into my post-secondary studies since I know academics are an extremely important part of being a collegiate athlete. And I am committed to doing everything in my power to succeed.
When it comes to working on my game, I work with a fitness trainer to help me with my speed, agility and strength. I also hit the diamond as much as possible to practice my fielding and hitting. Every single day is about working towards my goal of earning a spot on a collegiate team. I really enjoy working with my coaches and appreciate their constructive criticism on how to be a better baseball player and person on and off the field.
I am currently 16 years old, am 6' and weigh 165 lbs. My position is short stop. I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep the ball in the infield. I will layout and dive for any ball I have a chance at and I like to take control of the infield and let everyone know where to go and what do to when we are in certain situations. I believe my leadership skills, work ethic, and baseball sense make me a great candidate for any team.

- 8/27/15 to 8/27/15
- 8.27.15 Emond is a smooth fielding, 6-foot, 165-pound shortstop who is under control and confident in the middle of the diamond. Lower half is agile and is light on his feet. Can pick it on either side while his arm is quick with carry at 84 mph across the diamond. At the plate, Emond showed improvements since we saw him earlier in the year. Stronger and more bat speed, he squared up balls to his pull side while he started slightly closed off in the box. Medium stride out front, timing is big part to Emond, ensuring he gets his foot down and ready to hit. Hands show some looseness and whip through zone, reps and at-bats are biggest thing for Emond who can make plays as a shortstop up the middle.

- 2/15/15 to 2/15/15
- 2/15/15 6-foot, 165-pound athletic infielder with room to get more physical. Ran a 4.59 from home to first and a 5.18 in the 40-yard dash. Defensively, approached ball well with agile lower half and soft hands. Went from side to side with ease showing confident actions. Arm works and had some life at 82 mph. Good looking infielder with a strong glove and footwork. At the plate, Emond showed some bat speed during batting practice. Starts with a narrow, closed stance with big stride and minimal hand movement. Creates timing and balance issues. Hands show they have some quickness and can still get the bat through. Nice looking prospect, needs to make some mechanical adjustments at the plate but if he does will turn himself into a guy. Exit velocity was 76 mph. Defensively, live lower body with soft hands. Showed good body control and had feel for the baseball. Arm was short and proper actions with a quick, clean release. Top velocity across the diamond on the day at 82 mph. Arm was loose and quick. Nice defensive player with a lot of upside. Good looking athlete. - Named Player with Most Tools, Top Performers, Most Defensive Standout
