    Aidan Bartels grew up  playing baseball. It all started with T- Ball. Bartels’ dad was his coach, and   taught him everything he needed to know about the game. Baseball is an outlet for the person he is today. Bartels said, “It's the first sport I really started to pay attention to.” Bartels enjoys the entertainment and fun of the game. He likes how baseball is played. In addition, he likes the pace of  baseball and how it's nice and slow with no time limit. Baseball has taught Bartels how to be a leader. Bartels picks up his teammates if they are having a rough game or make a mistake in the field. Bartels leads by example in the dugout and is a role model player everyone looks up to. Bartels has won championships with his Lighting baseball team. Getting the opportunity to play for Jefferson in High School is an impressive accomplishment for Bartels.
