The true measure of an athlete isn’t found on a stat sheet. It’s found in effort. In leadership. In how they show up for others. The Heart of the Game Scholarship Award supports student-athletes who demonstrate those qualities as they continue their education and commitment to baseball.
The Chandler “Chuck” Bakley & Reed Harter Heart of the Game Scholarship Award is a nonprofit initiative created to honor two young men whose impact reached far beyond the baseball field. This scholarship exists to support high school baseball players pursuing collegiate opportunities recognizing not just athletic ability, but the character and discipline required to succeed both on and off the field.
The innings may end but heart, impact, and legacy never do.
The Heart of the Game Scholarship Award is awarded to high school baseball players who demonstrate:
Demonstrated commitment to baseball with plans to compete collegiately.
Integrity, accountability, and respect — on and off the field.
Consistent effort and responsibility in the classroom.
