PERSONAL STATEMENT
Hello - My name is JD (Joseph David) Prorok. I am currently a sophomore at Chester Area High School in
Chester SD. My parents are Renee and Ken Prorok and I have two older sisters and two nieces.
I am currently a 6’3”, 230-pound right-handed pitcher and third baseman. I play for a travel team out of Sioux Falls SD, I play for the Sanford Sports Academy on the 17u Red Team.
My father was a college coach so I have been around the game since I was born. I love pitching and
having “control” of the game. I love the big moment and really enjoy being the guy that my teammates
can count on on a daily basis.
I also compete in Basketball and Track for my High School. This Year as a sophomore, I started varsity for our men's basketball team where we were eliminated in the second round to the future state champions. I am currently one of the top-ranked throwers in Class "B" for Track & Field.
I love to work out and to compete in any competitive organized sport.
Two words that have been instilled in me are ATTITUDE & EFFORT. We have all heard these in the past
but these are two things that I can control. Having these two words align with our actions can help us
get through any adversity that we will face in life.
Academically I currently have a 3.6 GPA and am active in the Spanish Club outside of my sports activities. My
goal in college is to play on a highly competitive team at a high level, while earning a degree in a “sports-
related” field specifically in the area of sports medicine.
I feel that I am a very driven and focused young man and hope to always make a positive impact upon
those around me through my words and my actions.
