Carter Stolp '20 Recruiting Profile

    Since I was a child, I have had aspirations for baseball to become not only the sport I love, but also a future profession. Growing up in my house meant watching, practicing, and playing baseball all day, every day. My father instilled in me the passion and drive to succeed, as well as respect for the game, allowing me the opportunity to learn more from my mistakes than my accomplishments. Throughout my 13 years playing baseball, the element of the sport that I’ve learned the most from is the psychological angle. My experiences with the toughest parts of the game, whether it be a batting slump or a poor pitching outing, all stemmed from a mental aspect. I consider myself lucky to have exposure to these facets of the game as they have only taught me to control my play more and more.

    Although becoming a college baseball player interests me athletically, I am also very invested in the academic experience I will have while playing. During my high school career so far I have maintained a good image on the field and in the classroom. It is crucial to me that the college I attend can offer both a quality athletic program and an outstanding scholastic field.
