What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

What I love most about baseball is that no matter what is going on, I can step onto the field, focus, and give it my best. Whether we win or lose, I always try to stay positive, learn from my mistakes, and keep pushing myself to get better. Baseball has taught me to never give up, work hard, and carry that same mindset into life.

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

My family is my biggest inspiration. They have trained with me, supported me, and pushed me my entire life. I know how much time and hard work they have put into helping me become the athlete I am today. That motivates me to keep working hard and never give up. I want all of our hard work to mean something, and I want to make them proud by giving everything I have every time I step on the field.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Some days you hit a home run, and other days you strike out. That’s life. What matters most is how you pick yourself back up, keep playing
