Personal Statement
Dear Prospective Coach,
My name is Luke Johnson. I am 18 years old and play Varsity SS for Boerne High School. I will graduate in 2016. I am 5’10” and I weigh 145lbs. I have always loved baseball. My Dad grew up playing and started me very young. Growing up I played many positions including 1st base, catcher, pitcher, short stop and 2nd base. I ended up as a middle infielder. I believe that my athletic ability is what got me here along with my knowledge and instinct for this game. I have been told that my reaction time and quick muscle is strong. Defense and bunting are my specialty.
Until BHS Varsity I was primarily a 2nd baseman. When I went to varsity for my Junior season, I was a utility player. In our 1st tournament , I took over short stop and never looked back. I have a very good vertical jump, and exceptional range. I have focused a lot of time this summer in the gym. I have always had a way of getting on base and moving around the bases. I think that my speed is a big help for me. I have played select for the Boerne Battledawgs (10 years) and have been to the state tournament many times.This summer I played for Cookie’s E Train, as a 2nd baseman. I love baseball and the relationships that I have built over the years. I enjoy a “brotherhood” which I have always gotten from baseball. I consider myself a great teammate and a great person to have in the dugout.
I am willing to do what it takes to earn my playing time for you.
I would love to stay in one of my family’s home states of Texas or Louisiana. Although I am certainly open to options that allow me to continue my game.
Thanks for your consideration.
Luke Johnson
