Now, Derek is starting to grow up and to figure out that he is really good at baseball, and that he wants to get better at baseball. He did end up making the AAU basketball team, and that was because he used hardwork and effort to do it. He hustled every play and ran his hardest in suicides. He said that because he made the team being a small school kid, it showed him that he could to anything.
His sophomore year in highschool, he tried out for a big travel baseball team, the Kalamazo Maroons. He says that he was playing with older kids, and that he was one of the youngest ever, so im not sure if it was a team who took all ages, or that he was playing up. But, he did make the team and he ended up taking a college kids spot at shortstop, and pushed him to second base, even though he had been on the team for 3 years. This showed me that Derek was very humble, because he didn't come out and say that he was very good and the best in Michigan, but he was very good, and most likely was. He started to talk about his highschool team tryouts, but i didn't read that far and im going to assume that they went well.
