- God grant me wisdom, to tell a strike from a ball, to know where to throw and never to fall.
- Keep me always in the base line, running straight and true and I'll look for your sign, to stretch one into two.
- God give me vision, to see every pitch, so if a player needs help, then I will see which.
- Let me always hustle, so I'll be at my best and take pride in myself, in sports and the rest.
- God be my strength, when I throw the ball when I'm far from home plate, or against a wall.
- So I never miss a base, please guide my feet, bring me home safely, so my job is complete.
- When I help younger players, let me always give praise, so they'll see you in me, in all of my ways.
- God please guide our coach, to be fair and smart, to teach us to be good, let it come from his heart.
- Let me take a loss, just as well as a win, to do any less, is surely a sin.
- As long as I can play, let me make my parents proud, as proud as I am, when they yell MY name out loud.
- However my games end, let me always have fun and if Heaven has All Stars, I want to be one.
- When my games here are over and my seasons are done, let me play on your team, just like your son.

- Lord, please clear my head of all distractions, and my heart of burdens I may bear, so I may perform my very best, knowing that you'll always be there.
- Please lift me up before the moment, so through your eyes I may see, and have a clearer understanding, as the game unfolds before me.
- With great courage I will meet this challenge, as you would have me do, but keep me humble and remind me, that my strength comes from knowing you.
- Then when all eyes are upon me, at the end of this game, I will turn their eyes to you O' Lord , and to glory of your name.
