My name is Ben Flanders, I’m from the class of 2021. I am currently a junior with a 6'0" 175 lb. frame from Merrimack, NH who attends Merrimack High School. I have a medium build and frame, solid athleticism, and room to continue to fill out physically and add strength. I’m primarily a catcher with quickness through my footwork, and arm strength up to 75 mph and can consistently throw out base-runners. I also give our pitchers confidence to stay down in the zone because of my ability to block and receive pitches well. At the plate, I start with a spread stance, slightly open base, high back elbow, and a simple leg lift timing mechanism. I normally shift well to the ball with a loose, extended hand path. I have strength through the ball with ability to lift and drive.
I enjoy the lessons that athletic competition has taught me: the pursuit of excellence comes from personal development, responsible behavior on the field and off, leadership, strength of character, and sportsmanship. I understand that you must earn an opportunity to play; there are no guarantees. I plan on being selfless, going to class, and becoming a leader on and off the field. I understand, that college baseball is about the team, and you only get what you earn.
I envision my college years to be a personal growth period. My goal is to challenge myself academically and explore a Mathematics / Applied Science major that will position me well for my professional career. I also have a true love for the game of baseball. It has always been my goal to play baseball after High School and continue down that path. As I grow both physically and mentally throughout my baseball career, I will always strive to be an asset to my team. I am open to playing anywhere, provided there is a high-quality academic experience available.
Thank you for your time.
