David Stone: A Legacy of Excellence On and Off the Field

David Stone is a celebrated three-sport student-athlete from Frederick County, excelling in baseball, basketball, and golf. A standout at Thomas Johnson High School (1996-1998), Stone was a two-time All-Area Baseball Player of the Year and a dominant force in Frederick’s American Legion baseball team, earning recognition as one of the best hitters in local high school history.

His high school and Legion performances earned him a scholarship to play at the University of Virginia, where he thrived both athletically and academically. Stone started all 57 games his senior year, leading the team in runs scored (53) and stolen bases (26) while ranking second in batting average (.360) and hits (76). Across his UVA career, he started 226 games, ranking second in hits (276) and runs scored (174) while setting the all-time record for walks (156) and stolen bases (83).

Stone’s achievements earned him induction into the UVA Athletic Hall of Fame in 2024. Academically, he graduated with a 3.902 GPA and was a two-time Verizon Academic All-American in 2001 and 2002.

Drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 2002, Stone spent one year in Minor League Baseball where he batted .281 for Salem-Keizer in the Northwest League. Rather than continue a professional baseball career, pursued his passion for medicine, earning his degree from UVA Medical School. Today, he practices pain management in Phoenix, Arizona.
