Athletic Excellence


The 6-foot-4, 200-pound senior shortstop and right-handed pitcher led the Chiefs (40-3) to their fifth straight Midsouth Association of Independent Schools Class 5A championship this past season. Pratt posted a 10-0 record with a 0.14 ERA, surrendering just 18 hits and eight walks in 49 innings pitched while striking out 66 batters. He batted .469 with 4 home runs, 50 RBI and 38 stolen bases. A Rawlings/Perfect Game Preseason First Team All-American, he is also a two-time MAIS Class 5A Player of the Year.

Academic Achievement


Pratt has maintained a 4.0 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a National Letter of Intent to play baseball on scholarship at the University of Mississippi this fall, but is projected as an early-round selection in July’s Major League Baseball draft. 

Exemplary Character


Pratt has volunteered locally on behalf of tornado and hurricane relief efforts, youth baseball programs, nursing homes and Second Chances Animal Rescue.
