Donald "Trey" Rockey '21 Recruiting Profile

While I have wanted to play college baseball for as long as I can remember and  I am working toward making that happen,  I see the significance of being successful both on the field and in the classroom.  One of my major accomplishments that highlights this belief is winning the Braves Award for both my Junior Varsity football and baseball teams.  My coaches honored me with these awards, because they saw me as a player that they  wanted representing the school based upon my work ethic, leadership, and on field accomplishments.  I try to embody these characteristics in everything I do. While some of my peers are choosing an easier path through high school, I am enrolled in advanced placement courses such as Calculus, Biology, U.S. History, Literature, and Language.  I know that I have to have a life after baseball.  College is the means of achieving that life I want and I see college athletics as a part of that overall educational experience which will make me a well rounded citizen.

On the field, I view myself as a throwback player who will do what it takes to help my team win.  Even though I led my Junior Varsity and Junior Legion teams in hits, I also lead the teams in getting hit by pitches.  While it is not something I like, it gets me on base and helps my team score runs.  During both seasons, I led the team in runs scored.  I know I have to get on base to score runs and I will get on however I can.  In conclusion, I hope that I can find a place that I can help my team win in whatever manner I can.
