Drake Rhodes Batt...Personal Statement
I'm like every other high school baseball athlete in the way that we all have dreams and aspirations to become a collegiate baseball player. For me, education is also a huge focus. I realize to be successful in life, an excellent college education is a major aspect. What sets me apart from every other athlete is my character. I have always seemed to be an underdog. I know what it's like to fight an uphill battle and constantly grind. Throughout my life, I haven't been able to take many days off. I have had to work for everything in the classroom and on the field. That constant grind has taught me how to truly become a team player and have a profound love for the game.

- ActivitiesWhen I find myself off the baseball diamond, I enjoy spending my time with close friends and family. I also enjoy partaking in my personal bible study to learn more and create a better relationship with Jesus Christ. I am a member of our local FCA and I enjoy volunteering anywhere that I can to help people in need. I also love to show my work ethic in my job. I work at Ground Zero. Ground Zero is a youth ministry non-profit in Myrtle Beach that works with the less fortunate children and leads them to Christ. My job has taught me a lot of valuable skills and lessons in my life that I implement in my everyday routine. Outside of my responsibilities and my volunteer work, I enjoy spending my time boating or fishing to really relax my mind and think about my decisions and how I can better myself as a person in all aspects of life.
