Brady Welker '24 Recruiting Profile

Hi, I am Brady Welker from Scott City, KS.  I am 17 years old and going into my senior year at Scott Community High School.  Baseball is my passion, but I also play football and wrestle.  Being a 3-sport athlete helps me compete at a high level in all sports.  It also holds me accountable in the classroom all year long.  I am an honor roll student and feel my work ethic shows in the classroom as on the field.  I also participate in Student Council and many other school activities.  One of my goals is to receive an academic scholarship along with a sports scholarship for college.

Baseball, I can’t express how much I love the game.  I have played ever since I was able to hold a ball and bat.  The game of baseball has taught me several things about myself and life.  I have learned to be a good leader, have good sportsmanship, play as a team, and sometimes things get rough, but you must push through.  Until my freshman year of Highschool I usually played, starting pitcher, catcher, or 3rd base.  I grew very comfortable at those 3 positions, but my high school team needed me to step up and be the center fielder.  Outfield was a whole new experience, but I listened and learned from the coaches.  By the end of the season, I was awarded All League outfielder.  I was also the closing pitcher for our team.  That was a new set of challenges as well, from keeping my composure to handling the pressure of keeping the lead of the game or ending up with the save.  I settled into the role well and was awarded 2nd Team All State Closer.  I can rise to the challenge and play wherever the coach needs.
