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

Austyn lives for baseball. LL, All stars, Club. From the moment he picked up a glove at four years old, the game became his passion, his purpose, and he was a natural! Now at 12, he’s rewriting what’s possible for a left-handed player. Understanding the limitations that often come with being a lefty, Austyn decided to accidentally ambidextrous. He sits at 60 FB 66/record, stays after most practices for BP & he loves being out there w/ his friends from school, most of them will graduate together!


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

Shohei Ohtani is his Idol! Coaches call him Shohei because he is a force to be reckoned with athletically and on the mound Also Mike Trout, Tatis Jr His family: they work hard for me and my brother to have a nice life.


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

This summer, in AZ in 113° heat, Austyn pitched nearly six full innings in the All-Star tournament opener — then crushed his first over-the-fence walk-off home run to win the game! It was incredible! He wasn’t hitting his greatest and it was finally time! He also sits at a comfortable 60 mph FB, taught himself a knuckle ball and has a pretty cool curve ball. With awesome command!
