Alex Schrier Athlete Interview – Committed to UCSB
Posted by SportsForce in Athlete of the Week, Baseball, Commitments, High School, Inspiring Stories, Q & A, Recruiting, Tips & Advice We would like to congratulate Alex Schrier on his commitment to UC Santa Barbara! Here are Alex’ recruiting story and interview after his commitment. Good luck as a Gaucho! 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.

1. Share your recruiting story and status!
I wasn’t very high on any coaches’ radar or got anything easily. I’d be doing really well and still not get any attention from schools, but my coaches just told me it will come. So I waited and this past summer (going into senior year) coaches started noticing my progression and I got a few offers and was extremely happy to get to commit to my dream school UCSB.
2. What school are you going to, and why did you choose them? I chose UCSB because the location is close to home and it’s right on the beach, it is an extremely good school, and the coaching staff and baseball program will be able to develop me into a better player and person. 3. How did SportsForce help in the process? SportsForce helped me understand how it works and how grades are important when looking at schools that you want to pursue. SportsForce also helped me put together a good video to send out to my target schools. 4. What advice would you give to other players and parents with the recruiting process? I’d say to start early and have patience if you continue working and getting better, you will get noticed. 5. How excited are you about your future in college? Extremely excited about being able to go to school right near the beach and play baseball every day and see how much better I can get moving forward.
