"I am a left hand pitcher throwing 84 mph, who like to play baseball in the United States. My pitches are curve, ch. fastball and the 2 seam. I want to find out what schools are looking for a lefty who will pound the zone by throwing all my pitches for strike and have a good pick off movements to all bases. Actually my grade point average is 3.7/4.0 AVG, my dream is to obtain a scholarship to pursue an advanced degree in engineering science at a recognized institution."
