Cole Gabriele '16 Recruiting Profile

I’ve been playing and loving baseball since I was six years old.  I’m now a 17 year old, 6’3, lefty pitcher/hitter currently playing baseball on my high school Varsity team, Tuscarora, in Loudon County, VA.  I have also played travel baseball since 8U and currently play for the 17U Diamond Elite Baseball Academy in Sterling, VA.  Throughout my 11 years of playing baseball, I’ve been very lucky to have the support and commitment of my family.  Many sacrifices were made for the multiple practices, games, travel tournaments, training sessions etc. over the years so I am grateful.  I’ve also been fortunate to play for some great coaches, with some great teams and individual players which has helped be develop as a player and individual.   I have developed a strong work ethic by training hard every year and I understand the discipline and commitment it takes to play at the next level.  I am easy to coach, I listen and take direction well and will work hard to continue improving my game.  If I am fortunate enough to play at the collegiate level for the right program, I am confident I will be a strong asset to the team and will represent my University in a respectful and positive manner.
