A Word from the Voice of the Bulldogs - Nate Marroquin

 

The Voice of the Bulldogs 

With high school baseball in full swing, I decided to interview the "Voice of Bulldog Baseball"... Nate Marroquin. Nate has been the PA announcer for the Bulldogs for almost 30 years! His dedication and passion for Defiance Baseball is immeasurable. Nate has seen a lot of great athletes and teams come through the Defiance High School Baseball Program. 

While talking with Nate, I asked him a few questions....

Luke: "Define the "Defi-Dynasty" and how has the Defiance Baseball culture brought so much historical success to the program and community." 

Nate: "The "Defi-Dynasty" has a lot to do with the kids in our program and quite honestly, if you don't have the great kids that we have had, you don't have a great program. So, to me it starts with our student athletes."

Luke: "Because of this historical success, what has been the most rewarding part of being a part of it."

Nate: "This is my 28th year with Defiance Baseball and I have been the PA announcer for three state Championship teams (2013, 2015, and 2016), that's the most rewarding part of doing this."

Luke: "I have noticed that there are several notable alumni who have successful careers beyond high school. Are there any experiences that stand out to you while watching these players grow?"

Nate: "I can't really point out one experience. Just seeing these young men deciding to play college and/or pro baseball, it's just amazing to me and it shows how much they love the game."

Luke: "To finish up the interview, overall, how has Bulldog Baseball impacted you?"

Nate: "Bulldogs Baseball has caused me to fall in love with the sport even more. It's educated me more than I already knew about the game of baseball."

It was a pleasure to speak with Nate to discuss his experiences and history with such an elite program.

You now know the personality behind the Voice of the Bulldogs, Nate Marroquin! Come out to the next Defiance Baseball home game Friday, April 30th against Celina to hear Nate in action!
