Though Drake didn’t have weeks to practice, he walked up there with confidence and sang his heart out.

The crowd smiled as he focused on singing. It soon became clear that he knew every single word of the national anthem.

Facebook user Giltina Marshall wrote: "You are a very special little man. You made everyone very proud of you. You sang the National Anthem wonderfully. Mom and Dad i know you are very proud of him regardless but extra proud since he did such and excellent job."

"This little boy is awesome. Knows all the words and really belts them out. Next year its major league time," commented Jerry Piffer.

"Drake you did a phenomenal job singing our national anthem. Great job!" wrote Glady D'Amico.

Drake’s mom, Chelsea Grillo, told CNYCentral: “I was really nervous. I didn't know how to be calm for him and help him with the words to keep him going, but he really just did it all himself."

“I was proud of him,” she added.

According to Chelsea, Drake has been singing the Star-Spangled Banner since last winter.

Drake is scheduled to sing the national anthem again at the Auburn Doubledays game. But this time it would be for another cause.

His performance will act as a fundraiser for those with hip dysplasia just like his sister. The “Sips and Flips for Hips” event will take place on July 29.
