Glendale’s Brady Yates is putting together one of the most dominant seasons in the Ozarks, 11 home runs, 48 RBIs, and a .448 average, and it’s not just raw power driving it. The junior breaks down how a more mature approach at the plate, simplified mechanics, and guidance from former Glendale standouts helped unlock his game and cement his future with Missouri State. It highlights a player who’s not just producing, but evolving in real time.

There’s also a bigger look at the decisions shaping his path, including stepping away from football to fully commit to baseball, handling intentional walks, and preparing for the jump to Division I. With his team pushing toward a district title, Yates gives a clear picture of what it takes to lead, adjust, and deliver when the spotlight keeps getting brighter.
