Payne Ladd

I will be a junior, Class of 2023, at Tennessee High School in Bristol, TN. I pitched and played first base while in Little League but began focusing more on pitching for my middle school team. I made the varsity team as a pitcher in the starting rotation my Sophomore year and have had some excellent outings and wins during my first season on the mound for varsity. In addition to baseball, I work hard to keep my grades up and maintain a high GPA. My faith is very important to me, and I am a leader for Fellowship of Christian Athletes and First Priority at my school, where I lead the devotions at meetings much of the time. I also enjoy playing front yard wiffle ball with friends and visiting with extended family.
