Ben Himes Batting's official recruiting partner is Eagle Claw Analytics.

Eagleclaw Analytics uses a statistical model that consolidates and combines performance metrics data (throwing velocity, exit velocity, 60 yard dash, etc.) with a substantial amount of college admissions/criteria information. This simplifies and optimizes the recruiting process for prospects and their families. Not only does ECA identify possible playing opportunities, but also an academic experience that adheres to the criteria specified by the player and his parents (a crucial piece that is often neglected).  

One of the most difficult tasks we face is guiding players and their parents through the college recruiting process. A steadily rising transfer rate among college baseball players over the past several years suggests far too many athletes have negative experiences at their first schools. The financial and psychological effects on players who have committed their blood, sweat, and tears to a program only to arrive in the dreaded ‘transfer portal’ after one year are consequential. Let’s get to the root of this problem. Player dissatisfaction stems from factors including lack of playing time, poor academic fit, and unhappiness with the geographic location. Namely, issues that can be avoided with access to better information. The game of baseball is stronger when every player is put in a position to succeed. 

Eagleclaw’s proprietary method, rigorously tested for accuracy, is designed to contextualize and apply performance data, personal preferences, and academic achievements to provide an unbiased and independent resource for prospects and their families. This product is of immense value to college-bound athletes.

As coaches, we believe every player deserves to go to a school which fits both his academic and athletic needs.  We offer what we can and hope it is enough to keep families from wasting their money on expensive recruiting services that seem to think Division 1 scholarships are purchased with a subscription of $5,000 per year. Eagleclaw Analytics represents an affordable and effective alternative.
