We would like to congratulate Ethan Hott on his commitment to Stanford University. Here are Ethan’s recruiting story and interview after his commitment. Good luck as a Stanford tree!
1. Share your recruiting story and status!
To be honest, the recruiting process was a bit of a roller coaster. For me, it was stressful at times. Luckily, I had the help of Andrew Beinbrink and SportsForce to guide me through the process. At the beginning of the summer, I was in contact with no schools at all. I attended a local PBR showcase in June and performed well. PBR then asked me to attend the Future Games in Georgia the next month. This is where things really picked up quickly for me. The event was unbelievable and I managed to play well enough to begin communication with some schools. Stanford being one of them. They asked me to attend a prospect camp a couple of weeks later. After the workout, I received the offer. Stanford has been my dream school since I was interested in playing college baseball. The decision was easy.
2. What school are you going to, and why did you choose them?
Once I graduate high school, I will be attending Stanford University. Stanford is of the most elite in both athletics and academics, both of which are very important to me. The campus is beautiful and it is relatively close to home. Once I was given the opportunity to play there, I jumped on it.
3. How did SportsForce help in the process?
SportsForce not only provided me with a personal profile to showcase myself to coaches but also provided me with the knowledge and expertise of my recruiting advisor, Andrew Beinbrink who helped get in contact with coaches and manage everything involved in the recruiting process.
4. What advice would you give to other players and parents with the recruiting process?
My biggest piece of advice would be that once you have a school, or schools in mind that you would potentially want to go to, work harder than any other person to achieve that goal. Lift, train, and focus in on that goal. It will pay off and schools will see this. Especially once you get to high school and more opportunities open up.
5. How excited are you about your future in college?
I am overcome with excitement. I am fortunate enough to have committed to the school I’ve wanted to go to for years and it puts a smile on my face every time I think about it. Truly surreal.
6. How much money do you estimate your family saving in college expenses over the entirety of your college career?
I am fortunate enough to have been offered an athletic scholarship.
7. Would you recommend SportsForce to any other student-athletes? Why?
I would absolutely recommend SportsForce to other student-athletes. They provide you a personal profile page, video, and the expertise from their very knowledgeable staff.
Over the last 10 years, SportsForce has helped over 1,000 student-athletes and families successfully navigate the college recruiting and athletic scholarship process while saving families on average $80,000 in college expenses.
Our Mission at SportsForce Baseball:
We are on a mission to help our select number of qualified and evaluated players maximize their recruiting offers and make the best college decision.
Started by CEO & founder Andrew Beinbrink, SportsForce Baseball is a nationally recognized college recruiting advisory group with over 40 former college coaches, players, and MLB scouts in 10 different states.
During the last 11+ years, we’ve helped over 1,000 players make their college commitments.
Read below, why we are different from every recruiting group in the country.
Why SportsForce is Different:
* View our Home Page Video Unlike most recruiting companies, we do not just partner with anyone for our hands-on recruiting programs. Instead, we only partner with qualified players who meet our Five academic, athletic, and coachability selection factors.
We evaluate between 10,000-12,000 players each summer and fall at top showcases and selectively advise, and advocate for only a limited number of players each year by directly contacting college coaches to help them maximize recruiting offers.
Each of our expert college recruiters is limited to how many players they will advise so there is the best combination of hands-on guidance and personal recruiting outreach to college coaches.
Social Media Exposure: We also utilize our growing Twitter following at @SportsForceBB which is followed by over 500 NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JC coaches nationwide and growing fast.
To Get Evaluated by Our Expert College Recruiting Staff:
Option 1: Complete our Recruiting Questionnaire
Option 2: Email us at scouting@sportsforceonline.com
Options 3: DM us on Instagram @SportsForceBB or Twitter @SportsForceBB and share recent video, stats, or measurables (velocity, 60, exit speed, pop time, etc…) for our scouts to evaluate.
