Sebastian Hanlin '20 Recruiting Profile

Ever since watching my first MLB game and hearing of baseball when I was a little kid, I was in love with the game. I started playing in pre-school, I played tee-ball in a Ted Guscoff organization. I played baseball every year all throughout the year. I have learned from my career that I am coachable, I pick up on new things quickly and I compete against teammates but also get along with them.

Throughout my career I have went through challenges of playing for coaches that didn't believe in me and did not give me a chance, to coaches that think highly of me. The disbelief motivated me to get better, if I needed to or not. My experiences throughout my career have helped me to get a good mindset of not getting down on myself, and turning failure and mistakes into success. I always believe in myself, but not to the point where I am over confident. I have learned that I give it my all no matter what until the end. I have realized the worth of commitment, as I played through injuries and sickness, to be there for my team. I am a leader, willing to cheer up teammates from failure, and help correct mistakes. I have been a captain for some of the teams I have played on, and I have played every spot in the field. I am sure of having a chance to be a part of a college baseball team with my attitude, work ethic, leadership, and talent, I can be a big part of your team.
