“Baseball is important to me because it is not just a simple easy game, every game is a true battle. I have made lifelong friends that have become my brothers through baseball. It helps you build trust, respect, grit and mentality like any other. Baseball has taught me to deal with situations in many aspects in my life outside of sports. I do not think I would be where I am at today if it were not for baseball.” – Tanner Warady ’22
