J.D. Drew was an outfielder from the small town of Hahira, Ga., near Valdosta. He wasn't a heralded player being recruited by colleges from all over, but it didn't take long for coach Martin to realize that this kid from Hahira was destined for greatness. Drew had picked up the game of baseball at age 13 playing with his brothers and neighbors in the cow pastures across from his family home. He joined the Boys Club team in Valdosta and from there baseball became his focus. Drew went on to be named the Vikings' best offensive player all four years, all-regional MVP and a member of the Team Georgia All-Star squad his senior year.

Drew's college career was impressive. He rewrote history as he established himself as one of the best hitters in college baseball. He was a consensus first-team All-American after becoming the only player in Division I baseball history to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases. He was named Player of the Year by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, The Sporting News and the ACC, and received the Dick Howser Award given by the American Baseball Coaches Assoc
