Personal

Mason is a versatile two-way player. His primary positions are third base and center field, he has played all nine positions in back to back European seasons. 

 

On the mound he has no problem starting or coming into the game as a reliever. His fastball sits in the low to mid 80s. He also has a sinker, change up, curveball and knuckle ball. 

 

At the plate Mason is a switch hitter. He does a really good job staying patient and gets on base regularly. As a lefty Mason hits the ball to all parts of the field with gab to gab power, rarely striking out. As a righty he hits with more power and is a pull heavy.

 

Mason has a lot of coaching experience with different age groups and sports. Additionally he has worked as an elementary teacher in the States, his experience with working with youth goes beyond the baseball/softball field. Mason has coached T-ball, 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U and women’s softball while in Europe on the various clubs he has played for. Additionally he was a volunteer hitting coach at MSUM in the States and head Legion Baseball coach (summer high school league).

Ryan Aarhu

MSUM Baseball, President

Mason would be a wonderful asset to your organization. He has an incredible passion and desire for the game of baseball. I have played against Mason for two years of college ball, and also played with Mason for another two years of ball at Minnesota State University Moorhead. In terms of ethics, he is a very hard worker, he shows up early every day and often times is wanting to stay late. As I am the current president of the MSUM baseball organization, when there are tasks at hand, I have been well aware that Mason is one of the first who steps up to help.

On the field, Mason is a very adequate player. He works hard and goes all out when every opportunity occurs. Every player has a job for every pitch, and Mason fully embraces that. Being a left-handed bat, Mason has a good ability to go the other way with the ball. In my time playing around him, he hits a lot to the left center gap, or down the left field line. In the time I have known Mason as a player, he has matured on the field a lot. As essentially every player deals with bad at-bats, fielding errors, or mental mistakes, sometimes poor behavior is shown after hand. I've never witnessed Mason perform any over-the-line action when it comes to the preceding situations, although he has become a lot more level headed and a team player about the mistakes when they are made. Instead of having a bad attitude and letting a situation bring him down, he looks at issues with a more positive attitude and never fails to go out and make the next play, or get a clutch hit his next at bat.

Mason is also a big team player. He shows that he wants the best for the team and it shows in his overall ethic and performance. Mason is not afraid to offer advice and help young and new players out. He has taken time to help several of the new players within our program in their fielding and hitting mechanics, along with the mental aspect of the game as well.

Overall, Mason is a phenomenal teammate, a leader, and a great asset to an organization. If there is anything else you'd like to know or if you have any questions, feel free to get back to me.
