Personal Statement

I love the grind of baseball! To play college baseball is a privilege built through hard work both in the classroom and on the field. Members of my family have played in college and beyond and I have seen first hand the hard work, discipline and dedication that it takes to play at the next level. As I work on my physical and academic development I am looking forward to see what opportunities will come from this Baseball Journey!

William Bethea is a 2025 3B/RHP/1B with a 5-11 160 lb. frame from South Plainfield, NJ who attends Rutgers Prep. Bethea works from a medium developing build with additional room to fill out and project in the future. Starting from the IF, he showcased a deep fielding funnel with young arm strength across the diamond up to 78 mph. As the footwork and mechanics become more controlled, expect the velocity number to only increase. On the mound, he worked exclusively from the stretch with a simple operation and compact arm action that pounded the zone and recorded outs efficiently. He mixed a looping 12-6 breaker with gradual depth to keep hitters off balance. Offensively, the righty started from an even base with a high hand set and toe-tap trigger to produce line drive impact to all parts of the field. Bethea flashed compact hand speed through the zone and posted an exit velo of 90 mph. Ran a 7.48 sixty yard dash.
