When I asked Braylon what he loves about playing baseball, he said this”Baseball is like playing one of the best things man has ever come up with. Not only do you enjoy the fun in winning but you understand the importance of losing sometimes. The more you play, the more you fall in love with the game, the connections, and the grind to get better every day. So if I were to talk about one thing I love about baseball, it would be being able to compete and learn.” This answer made me smile.
The person who inspires Braylon heavily is Jesus Christ. He is grateful first that he gets to open his eyes every day and is forever thankful for that. On the field, he looks up too is Hank Arron. Hank Arron is a big piece of his game, from the big swings and hard hits and upbeat attitude, Braylon tries to implement this in his game every day, not only on the field but treating others with respect and smiling even when the situation may not favor him.
One moment can’t explain how proud I am of this kid, every time he is on the field, the feeling changes and you can see the team chemistry automatically get better. He cheers everyone of his teammates on and commands the field like a pro while dominating the competition. When he gets older he will be the household name that he works hard for.
