Ada’s Reid Samson – Baseball Spotlight – Presented by Oklahoma Complete Health 

As a seasoned senior at Ada High School, Reid Samson exemplifies a blend of academic diligence and athletic talent. Transitioning from a trifecta of sports to dedicating himself solely to baseball, Reid’s journey reflects a deliberate pursuit of excellence. “My parents have always pushed me to be my best academically and athletically,” Reid reflected, showcasing the foundational support that has propelled him forward.

Inspired by his father’s coaching and guidance during his formative years, Reid’s passion for baseball bloomed, shaping him into the player he is today. “My dad inspired me to play baseball. He coached me when I was little and helped turn baseball into a sport that I love,” Reid shared, highlighting the familial bond that fueled his love for the game.

Drawing inspiration from the compassionate and talented Clayton Kershaw, Reid aspires not only to excel on the field but also to make a positive impact off it. “I look up to Clayton Kershaw the most because he is a great baseball player but more importantly, a better person who is super involved in his community,” Reid explained, showcasing his desire for a holistic approach to sportsmanship.

Navigating the demands of academics and athletics with finesse, Reid emphasizes prioritizing his studies before hitting the field. This discipline has not only earned him academic success but also accolades in the sporting arena. Notably, making the All-Tournament team in the Chandler Tournament alongside his teammates stands out as a pivotal moment in his high school career.

Challenges like struggling to gain weight tested Reid’s mettle, but his resilience and dedication shone through. The camaraderie within the team environment has molded Reid, fostering a selflessness that transcends personal achievements.

Looking forward, Reid’s plans point towards Seminole State College, where he aims to continue his baseball journey. With mentors like coach Shane Coker shaping his path and instilling belief in his potential, Reid stands poised to make his mark not just as a player but as a person of character and fortitude. In the realm of baseball and beyond, Reid Samson’s story is one of ambition, resilience and unwavering dedication.
