Personal Statement

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Raul "RJ" Soria. I am 5' 11" and 195 lbs. I bat left and throw right. I play 3b/MIF, but can play anywhere. I am currently a sophmore at Modesto High School out of Modesto, Ca. and I am in the graduating class of 2019. I will be ready academically as well as Baseball ready to play for you. I hold a 3.4 GPA. I will only get bigger, stronger, faster and smarter. I will continue to work hard on the field as well every day. I have been a member of Norcal Valley Baseball College Development Program out of Modesto, CA. for the past 3 years. I was selected for Team USA LABC by Jim Parque out of Washington (Big League Edge) for the 12u team. There were nation wide tryouts and I was selected and represented the USA in the Dominican Republic at the Latin American Baseball Classic (LABC) in 201 where our U12 team won the championship for the first time in LABC history. I was just selected By Norcal Travel Baseball (NCTB) as one of the top 8th graders in Northern Ca and participated in "The League" against other top 8th graders in Norcal at UC Davis, University of San Francisco this past summer. I have been recently selected to represent the Western territory (California, Neveda, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, Washigton) at the World Series Classic in Fort Meyers, FL sponsored by Louisville Slugger and "The Series". Jim Parque of Big League Edge in Washington has selected me to play for his 16u Elite Crimson team for 2016 summer where we will play at Oregon State, UOW, Washington State and USA championships in Arizona. I have recently been selected by Under Armor to play for their 16u National Team. I have been under the hitting instruction of a former Los Angeles Dodger, Jack Jones. I have attached the link to my video as well as posted some press releases in my profile. I hope you get to view them. Again, I just wanted to introduce myself and get my name out there to you. Thank you.

10/05/2016 - Arizona Freshman/Sophomore Fall Classic Raul showed very well at 3B and continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities with a promising future on the diamond. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. At 3B, he displays smooth / fluid actions. Feet are active as he works around and plays through balls with his body. He moves well laterally and presents soft /sure hands well out front. Hands / feet work well together and he gets rid of the baseball quickly with carry, and accuracy on his throws across the diamond. At the plate, he continues to shine through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (83 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows good barrel accuracy with power showing best to the pull side. At the event, he was 2 for 6 with a 3B and 4 RBI. Mental makeup is a plus as he has great plate approach, is a great teammate, works hard, and is very coachable.
