Ethan Hear '21 Recruiting Profile

Hi, 

 Thank you for looking at my profile. Although I am a 2020 high school graduate, I decided to take a gap year and reopen my recruitment as a member of the class of 2021.

My original plan was to attend Urbana University where I was recruited to play baseball. Unfortunately, the university permaently closed in April 2020 due to the  Coronavirus pandemic. Instead of attending college, I decided to move from Ohio to Minnesota where I now attend the Minnesota Postgraduate Baseball (https://www.mpgbaseball.com).  My plan is to use the next year to improve my strength and sharpen my baseball skills to get me ready for the next level which is college baseball.  This program is physically and mentally demanding as it requires 6 days per week of training. This gap year allows me time to explore different college programs.  I want to find a program where I can be a valuable member of a team and get a good education. 

In addition to attending this program I am also working in order to financially support myself and give me a head start on being independent while living 700 miles away from home.

You will see that I am committed to making the sacrifices that are necessary to become the skilled and dependable baseball player who is right for your team.
