Meet the new Bruin: Hayley Baker

Belmont freshman Hayley Baker, from Rockwall, Texas, started playing softball when she was 8 years old.

“I played other sports like soccer and basketball, but I fell in love with softball from the start,” said Baker.

Baker wants to become a doctor and is studying bio chemistry.

“The biggest thing is time management. Making a plan and sticking to it. Definitely getting things done when I have the time to do it is how I manage softball, school and friends,” said Baker.

When she’s not playing softball, Baker enjoys reading, shopping and hanging out with friends.

“In my spare time, away from softball and school, I enjoy reading, shopping and being with all of my friends,” said Baker.

When deciding on a college, Baker said that she fell in love with Belmont. She fell in love with the school, the campus, and everything about it.
