Has anyone ever told you hitting a baseball is easy? Ted Williams arguably the greatest hitter of all time once said, Without question the hardest single thing to do in sports is to hit a baseball. My name is Jay DeVito a PG student athlete at Cheshire academy and I am here to try and earn a scholarship to play college baseball. Many people say baseball is a boring and slow sport but I think differently; I think it's a very intense game.
I came from a family with many athletes but everyone always played baseball. I started my career in national lione little league at just 4 years old. Little league was filled with many great memories which include going to Cooperstown dreams park and playing baseball a for a whole week. Still playing with same kids throughout babe Ruth and legion ball it really kept me close with my long time teammates.
My main goal is to eventually play baseball and earn a scholarship to a division 1 school. That's been my dream ever since I picked up a ball when I was 2 years old. My brother currently plays at the university of Hartford which really motivates me to pursue my dream. He constantly preaches to me about how hard I'm going to have to work in order to make it on to the field. I really want to prove to everyone whos ever doubted me By calling me "too slow"or "doesn't have the bat to play at the next level." I take that personally and really set my goal to prove to people just like that what Capable of.
In order for me to achieve my goal of playing baseball at the next level I'm going to need to dedicate myself to the classroom for the entire year. If it takes staying after or staying update finishing my homework then I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get the grades I want. This will be very important and play a huge roll as to where I will be playing next year. I really hope my dream comes true and I will be sitting in front of a college proffesor next year as a student athlete.
