Playing since I was 4 years old, I've realized how much more baseball is than just a sport. It has become my first love and I am very blessed to be even able throw a baseball. Ken Griffey Jr. once said, "Talent may get you on the field, but its effort & attitude that will keep you there." This quote has stuck with me since the firsts time I ever read it. Playing at the next level has always been the main goal for me. Having the right mindset and setting high goals for myself is the right path, but it all starts in the classroom.
