[6]

College

Forst attended Harvard University, where he played college baseball for the Harvard Crimson. Forst was the Crimson's starting shortstop and team captain, and in his senior year he batted .406/.437/.624, while setting a school record with 67 hits.[7][8][4] He was named an All-America third-team shortstop.[9] He graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in sociology from Harvard in 1998.[10][11]
