Brian Goodling '13 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'10'' 175 lbs junior from Carlisle, PA.  I throw and bat right handed, and my primary position is pitcher with secondary positions at shortstop and second base. I have been playing baseball for almost ten years.  Growing up I have played on many championship teams including Coopertsown Dreams Park Week 10 August 2008, and a state championship (2009) when I was thirteen playing for the junior level of Carlisle Area Little League.  I have been a varsity starter since my freshman year, and as a sophomore I was selected by my coach as Co-MVP.  Also, I was selected by the Mid-Penn Commonwealth Division in PA as a 1st team All-Star, and was selected as an All-Area player in the local newspapers my sophomore year.  While in my sophomore year I was inducted into the Carlisle chapter of the National Honor Society, and the Carlisle chapter of the German National Honor Society.

As a student-athlete I am interested in schools that are medium to larger in size that can offer a wide range of opportunity academically, socially, and athletically.  I am interesting in majoring in Alternative Energy Engineering/Environmental Sciences.  Geographically, I am more interested in schools all along the East Coast, into the upper Southern region, and part of the Mid-West area.  Divisionally I have no preference.  Financial assistance in going to be important to me in my selection process.  I am willing to be very open and considerate in my upcoming school selection.  I plan to attend a four-year college where I can finish my education, and to play baseball at the highest level possible.

Recently, I committed to Virginia Commonwealth University where I will be on the 2013 roster for Rams baseball.
