Blake Hilgendorf '29 Recruiting Profile

My name is Blake Hilgendorf, and I’ve been playing baseball for the past 10 years. From the first time I picked up a glove and stepped on the field, I knew this sport was something special to me. Baseball has taught me discipline, teamwork, and resilience—and I’m proud to say I’m currently playing travel ball to continue pushing myself and competing at a high level.

I love this game, and my goal is to continue playing at the collegiate level. I know that opportunity comes with high expectations, and I’m ready for that challenge. I consider myself a team-first player and a leader who leads by example. I show up early, stay late, and always stay coachable—because I want to be the best teammate and athlete I can be.

Off the field, I work just as hard. I take pride in my academics and maintain a strong GPA. I believe in being a well-rounded student-athlete, and I’m committed to staying focused both in the classroom and on the field.

I’m looking for a college that will push me to grow—athletically, academically, and personally. I’m open to all opportunities that will help me develop into the best version of myself. More than anything, I want to make an impact, be a role model, and make my family proud through everything I do.
