Will Fahnestock '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Will Fahnestock and I am in the class of 2021. Some key information about me includes: I hit from the left side of the plate, throw right-handed, and have the ability to play all over the outfield, as well as in the infield when needed. Over the past eleven years of my baseball career I have discovered that my love of the game stems from the fact that I love how the game of baseball , unlike any other sport, provides new challenges for me each and every day, as I have to work on not only my physical game, but my mental game as well. Far and away the most difficult challenge that I have faced with regards to baseball is my mental approach, as I struggled to cope with the fact that I wasn’t going to get a hit every at bat or strike every batter out. Although not perfect yet, my mental approach has improved immensely over the past few years and I have learned that I can’t dwell on the past, but rather I must  find the best in each situation and use my mistakes as a tool for improving my game. For me, baseball has been more than just a game, as it has taught me so many lessons that I can apply to the real world and take with me into adulthood. I can’t wait for all of the opportunities that may await me at the conclusion of high school and I look forward to furthering both my education and athletics in college.
