Thank you for generously supporting Forrest in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
Forrest loves the competition and the communion of the sport! He enjoys being out on the field with the boys & competing at all different levels! He can & will absolutely play any position on that field, giving his all & having fun with the team!
His father is his drive & inspiration. They have been working together (sometimes practicing daily) since Forrest was 6 years old. To this day, they still work together weekly to improve Forrest’s skills. His father has spent so much time with him regarding this sport & I know Forrest appreciates it greatly. This is what it’s all about!
Outside of his home runs/grand slams, my proudest moments in his baseball journey have been to see him close out tough games! My boy is an amazing pitcher, but not just any pitcher, a CLOSER. He has been pulled into many do or die situations, in which the game depended upon him shutting it down for the win. He handles the pressure well & has done this on numerous occasions. As stressful as it is to watch as a parent, it makes me so proud of my boy & the weight he’s able to carry for his team!
