Student Profile:
► Ben Karlin
► The Weber School, senior
Ben Karlin has a record of start
ing new endeavors.
During his freshman year, he
was the starting pitcher for the
Weber School baseball team’s first-
ever state playoff game. That same
year, when he did not see a quality,
baseball summer camp he wanted
his younger brother to participate
in, he started a new one with his
friend Joseph Brickman.
Not only does Ben start anew,
he finishes what he starts. He just
completed his third year running the
baseball camp, and has now made it to
three state playoff games with his Geor
gia Independent School Association re
gion 1-AAA team at Weber.
Weber head baseball coach Patrick
Wright describes Ben as a team leader
“both on and off the field.”
“When I first came to Weber, he was
a young, eager sophomore still learn
ing things, but he has developed into a
mature, young man,” Wright said. “He
has done a great job leading in both the
classroom and the weight room.”
In addition to being a pitcher at We
ber in the spring, Ben has participated
on traveling teams during the fall and
summer since he was 13, most recently
playing for the last three years with the
643 DP Jaguars.
Ben, who was the captain of the We
ber Rams for the 2013 season, started
playing catch with his dad when he was
2 or 3 years old, and has loved sports
ever since.
“When I was younger, I played base
ball, basketball and soccer, but I decid
ed that baseball was my favorite and the
one I wanted to pursue,” said Ben.
Through his summer camp and by
teaching private lessons on pitching, hit
ting and fielding, he has worked to pass
his passion on to others.
The camp has grown from 10 partic
ipants to 21 in only three years, and he
hopes to keep it up through college and
expand it from one week into two sepa
rate, week-long sessions.
“It has been a great learning experi
ence,” Ben said. “Each year it has be
come easier knowing what to do, how
to plan it, how to send emails to parents,
and how to work with the kids.”
When he is not exercising his school
spirit on the field, Ben works as a “stu
dent ambassador” to encourage young
er kids to consider attending Weber. He
visits middle schools, escorts visiting
students to classes, and works to get to
know students looking at the school.
“Weber is a great place, and I really
love it and want to get as many people
to go to the school as possible,” said Ben.
[/Vhaf s Next:
Ben plans to play baseball in college,
and is looking for a school with strong
academics where he can possibly study
psychology or economics. Inspired in
part by an entrepreneurship class at We
ber, he hopes to ultimately find a job
that combines his passions for business
and baseball.
