"@EndyLoso12: Recruiting process is finally over, I have committed to play baseball at West Virginia University!! #LetsGoMountaineers #Big12
Endy Sanchez is a football, basketball and baseball star at Suffield Academy, so it's proven right here that this kid is a freak athlete. Endy attended Holyoke High School (MA) from his freshman year to junior year, then repeated his junior year at Suffield Academy, and is set to graduate from there in May of 2015. During his times at Holyoke, Endy was first team All Western Mass back to back seasons for baseball. The switch to Suffield Academy didn't seem to phase him as he was Second Team All Western Mass and Second Team All League in both Football and Baseball this past year. Sanchez's family was from Puerto Rico but Endy was born and raised in Holyoke. But what Endy proved is that working hard and always having someone by your side, helps you reach your dreams. At the beginning of high school Endy was a kid with no confidence at all and not a very athletic body. With the help of Harry Melendez and his mother, these two individuals were always there for him and always pushing him to do well in the classroom and on the playing fields. It goes without saying that those two were a big part on Endy's accomplishments. Endy is a hard working, humble and enthusiastic person who adapts to new places very well, so the switch to West Virginia I'm sure will not phase him. Endy is currently playing his summer ball with the 17U Northeast Baseball Rays, and his fastball sits 88-91 MPH. Anyways, we caught up with Endy and asked him a few questions.

Why did you choose West Virginia? Did anything stick out to you when you visited, How do you like the coaching staff etc.?
"I chose West Virginia University because I believe the coaching staff there are fairly new and I know they are bringing that team
to the top and I want to be apart of something just taking off than
something already established, and I wanted the full college
experience. Other reasons I chose WVU, it was financially a better option for me, my mom planned on moving to Virginia so she could be closer to me so
being far away from home is no issue! Lastly, I loved the interest the
coaches showed and the plans they have for me once I get there! The
coaches seem very dedicated, determined and have a lot of baseball
knowledge and that is why I like them ! Unfortunately I wasn't able to
visit before making my commitment for financial reasons , but I've heard
a lot of great things about campus and I'm very excited for my official
visit in the fall!"
Have
you had a special coach or family member that led you to this great
accomplishment? If so or both, what did they do for you to reach this?
"My number one fan watching me from above is my grandfather (Victor
Morales), he is my family member that drove me the most in baseball
and until this day I drive to succeed in honor of him! Secondly, it's
hard to select one special coach that has helped me reach this goal, but
three coaches that I have had that pushed me to the limit and helped me
reach my goal are Andy Lajoie (telling me to never give up) , Harry
Melendez (installing determination and hard work ethic in me) and lastly
my summer baseball coach Scott Patterson (gaining my confidence as a
pitcher and getting me to be seen by scouts all over."
What are you looking forward to the most at West Virginia?
"I'm looking to get the best college experience I can have at WVU, and to become the very best pitcher I can be and get this team to Omaha!"
What things are you going to try and improve on before college?"Before I step onto campus as a freshman at WVU , I want to improve on time management, increase my velocity, my command in my pitches, and be in the best shape I can be in"
Lastly, what was your favorite baseball moment? For example, winning a state championship,throwing a no hitter.
"Lastly, my favorite baseball moment was hitting a walk off home run freshman year at regionals for my summer baseball team. One because it was back to back home runs and it was/will be the last time I hit a ball that far! Haha"
Endy sure has a bright future with baseball and we wish nothing but the best for this talented young man.
