Robert Rothenberger '21 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was a child, I have always wanted to compete at the highest levels in baseball. My family started off my athletic career by placing me into Little League at age four and I have been playing baseball ever since. This has been the entirety of my life and no doubt has been my lifelong passion. Besides playing in Little League, I have been a part of Travel Baseball for a multitude of teams in Northern Virginia.

When I entered high school, I was fortunate enough to meet with Coach Mike Covington and I was extremely ecstatic to work with him on improving my skills for the next four years. Midway through my freshman year at Potomac Senior High School, I suffered a terrible concussion pulling me out of school all together, resulting in me having to continue my education at home and then receiving my GED. A little over a year and a half of being home to recover from my incident, I was able to receive help from a chiropractor in the Spring of 2019 which ultimately cleared out my concussion completely.  

Ever since I was able to get back out and train again, I have been training nonstop. My concussion is an example of an adversity that I was able to overcome to reach my goals therefore showing that I take baseball very seriously. At this point of my athletic career, I see nothing stopping me and I am more ready than ever to play at the collegiate level and give my full effort. I consider myself to be very open-minded and coachable and want a coaching staff that can help me reach my fullest potential as a baseball athlete. I am willing to take any advice, support, and help I can get to further my skills.
