John Smoltz Presents Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year Award to Clint Frazier of Loganville High School in GA

LOGANVILLE, Ga. — Former Atlanta Braves pitcher, John Smoltz, surprised Clint Frazier of Loganville High School by presenting him with the news that the Gatorade Company, in collaboration with USA TODAY High School Sports, named Frazier its 2012-13 Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year.

Former Atlanta Braves pitcher, John Smoltz, is one of our more popular motivational speakers, says SportsSpeakers360.com. The photo shows Smoltz speaking with DLHQ on ESPN.

“It was an honor to surprise Clint with the Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year award and welcome him into one of the most prestigious legacy programs in high school sports,” said Smoltz, an eight-time MLB All-Star and current baseball analyst. “Gatorade has been on the sidelines fueling athletic performance for years, so to be recognized by a brand that understands the game and truly helps athletes perform is a huge honor for these kids.”

The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Frazier as the nation’s best high school baseball player. Frazier is now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade Male High School Athlete of the Year award, to be presented at a special ceremony prior to The ESPY Awards in July.

John Smoltz, considered one of the greatest Major League pitchers of the late twentieth/early twenty-first century, is only one of two pitchers in baseball history ever to achieve twenty wins and fifty saves in single seasons.
