PBR: Tell us all about your recruitment process, when it started, and why you decided to commit to Marist?
Hart: The recruiting process for me started the summer going into my junior year. After participating in a PBR showcase, several colleges reached out to me with interest. In late September, I visited Marist with my family and met with the coaches. My family and I visited the school again in late October. I was impressed with the baseball program and coaches at Marist. I certainly felt that Marist was a good fit for me academically and athletically. I committed to Marist because I felt it was an excellent baseball program in the Northeast.
PBR: Looking at your skillset on the baseball field, what would you say your biggest strength at the next-level will be?
Hart: I’d say my biggest strength at the next-level would be my speed. I think my speed helps every aspect of my game, from tracking fly balls, extending base hits and stealing bases.
Hart: My main priority this winter will be to focus on improving my arm strength for outfield and pitching.PBR: What’s your No. 1 priority going into the Winter in terms of getting prepared for next spring?
PBR: Who is your biggest influence when it comes to playing the game of baseball?
Hart: My biggest influence is definitely my dad. He’s the one who taught me how to play the game. My dad and I have spent many hours on the field together working on my game.
PBR: Prep Baseball Report’s No. 1 goal is to provide players with an unrivaled platform filled with next-level exposure through events and multi-media avenues. What’s your experience been with us?
Hart: PBR’s showcases are the best in the business. They helped me get the exposure I needed from various college coaches. PBR provided me with an opportunity to compete with and against many talented players. I think the experience of attending a PBR showcase helped me identify skills I needed to work on in order to improve my game.
