Koy Harris '17 Recruiting Profile

My name is Koy Harris and I just finished my Junior year at Anna High School.  I have been a starting varsity pitcher for Coach Joey Hector three years now.  My freshman year I pitched and played third base and our team made it to the Bi-District round.  My sophomore year I pitched and played third base and was selected 2nd Team All District Pitcher as well as Academic All District.  This year I pitched and played first base and was named 1st All District Pitcher, Academic All District, and received a Honorable Mention for pitching on the All Texomaland Baseball Team selection.  This summer will be my second year to play with Coach Gary Jackson on North Texas Pride where I play multiple positions (outfield, 3rd, and 1st) and am the starting pitcher for bracket play.    

Academically I am in all Honors/AP/Dual Credit college courses at my high school.  I have been awarded the Academic All District all my years in baseball and two years that I have played varsity football.  No matter what division college, I will work hard.  This process is not just about playing baseball, I also want to go to college to get a higher education so I can better myself for later in life.  Going to college will mean that I will be the first in my family to go straight out of high school.  Now that does not mean I will be completely satisfied with playing in college and getting my education, I of course want to try and go as far as possible with baseball as I can.  I dream of playing ball professionally and becoming an inspiration to young ball players like Michael Young, Pudge Rodriguez, and Mark McGwire were to me.

I am the kind of baseball player that not only wants to better himself, but the team as well.  I always chatter on the field encouragement to my teammates and reinforcing the team as a whole because I know making the team better will also make me better.  I am very coachable, I listen to instruction well and try to apply everything I am told.  I hold the utmost respect for my coaches and teammates.  My parents are also a big part of my baseball attitude and career.  They always encourage me to be a better person, ball player,  teammate and assist me as much as possible.  I know they have played a big part in my success on and off the field.
