Being a walk-on baseball player at Baylor is no ordinary task. To do this while also fighting for religious freedom across the world and being the head coach’s son is quite the occupation.
Second-year freshman outfielder Nolan Rodriguez took part in the Baylor in Washington program during this fall semester. Rodriguez has also been a part of the Religious Freedom Institute, a nonprofit organization that strives for religious freedom across the globe. Through this semester, Rodriguez has not only found his passion, but also hopes to serve as a symbol for college athletes who struggle to find their calling outside of athletics.
