Next Level College Baseball
“Starter Pitcher for your Lane College Dragons number 18 Malcolm Davis”, The Announcer said. As I was walking up to the mound I started thinking about my younger days playing baseball. I have been playing baseball since the age of 10 and now I have become a starting pitcher for the Lane College Dragons. As I was growing up I always dream of going pro to the major league baseball. This is my senior year, my last year of college baseball where I have to shine. There was a point in my life where I thought I wasn't good enough to play. I just kept hearing the coach telling me that I wasn't ready to be in the starting line up. The sad part is, when my family came to the games I was never in the game. It hurt my heart having my family come to the games and never see their son play. I started stepping my game up and going the extra mile that others wouldn't go. Staying a little after workouts or hitting in the cage least every day. I just started pushing myself to become better at what I am doing. Started crafting my flow to become better. Now it's time for me to shine! I wanted to show those who didn't think I could be great enough to play college level baseball and those who didn’t believe in me. Thinking I will never have my time to shine. It's the first game of the season. I came into the game in the 3rd inning and the opponents in the 7th inning losing from a two-point lead. After the game coach walks up to me. He says “I like the way you were pitching today. How do you feel about becoming a starter for your Lane dragons?” Of course, i smiled and said “ Yes! I would love it!” so everything that people say I wouldn't be able to do. I let that motivate me to become better. Now it's time for me to shine! Never let anyone tell you that you can’t do anything. Just have your mind on to anything you want. There are people that will try to knock you off your path. Stay focus and keep your eye on the praise.
