Hey, are you looking to be recruited and commit to a college baseball program at the next level? If so, this is for you. No doubt about it. But listen, there needs to be a sense of urgency. Why? Because we only have so much time in high school, right? You only have so much time to be in high school, and then you're going to need to move on to college. So when should you start this recruiting process? The summer after your freshman year. So going into your sophomore year, hey, let's get the ball rolling on this. Don't worry about it. Your freshman year, okay? Get acclimated with your high school and your high school team and coach and et cetera from there. But after your high school year, going into that summer, before your sophomore year, let's get the ball rolling now. If you're a junior, don't worry about it. You still have time. And if you're a senior, you're definitely late to the game because you have till December, at latest January, because most schools are closed by then, and there's definitely some way before then. Okay? We got to get the ball rolling on this. 6.4% of high school athletes make it to college. Of course, our goal is to be part of that percent. But if you try to do this on your own, there is an extreme likelihood you are not going to be part of that percent. Okay, I see time and time again, I bet you're wondering what this is. This is the roadmap that people have when they try to do this on their own. They don't have a mentor or a coach that knows what they're doing. The black line, okay, is what I'm going to give you high school to college, all right? Being part of 6.4%. My name is Alex Swenson. I'm a former college scout, coach and recruiter at the Division 1 level. And this is what I do. I was in the SEC at Ole Miss, was fortunate enough to win an SEC championship. I was at Georgetown University High academic institution, Jacksonville University and mid major, where I also played. I know what I'm doing, okay? This is what I did for 11 years. I was that recruiter and scout, okay? And I have the process.

He had it. It's kind of come full circle. Had an experience like I do now, and he helped me, guide me through this process. And of course, I had to put in a lot of work. I had to work my tail off and hitting, throwing, be in the weight room, get physical, etc. From there. But then I made it and it was an amazing experience and it's very rewarding for me to help guys. And I've been successful. I feel very fortunate for that and humbled for that. I've helped guys get into Harvard, Columbia, usc, Stanford, Rice, Northwestern, Stetson. The list keeps going on and on.
