            There are many things that bring out my true identity. Your identity can be anything such as a person, object, language or hobby. Each and every person has many things that prove their identity but there is only ONE specific thing that makes you who you really are. What makes me the person I am today is baseball and throwing each pitch with execution off the mound.

            Being a baseball player brings out the real me. I love being a part of a team with all of my friends. Baseball gives me education on learning how to use different types of strategies to get the job done any way I can. My favorite part about being a baseball player is being put into pressure situations such as bases loaded, nobody out and the winning run on second base. The person I am is a guy that enjoys to be put under pressure and have to work my way out of them while trusting my defense behind me. I love learning new strategies on how to stay calm and train myself to get out of tough situations. Baseball brings out the side of my true identity and with all of the pressure and the team camaraderie, expresses who I really am.

            Each and every person in the world has one thing that brings out his or her true identity. Throwing each pitch off the mound  being under pressure when put in a situations during the game, and strategizing how to get a job done is what makes me the person I am today. I always knew from day 1 of being a pitcher, that my love for the game is what makes me the person I am today.
