Jaedyn loves baseball because it teaches teamwork, discipline, and gives him a chance to give back. He values the bond with his teammates, the structure and work ethic the game demands, and the opportunity to mentor younger players. Baseball has helped shape his character on and off the field, and it’s where he feels most confident, connected, and driven to grow.
Jaedyn is inspired by Jesus Christ and Aaron Judge. Jesus teaches him to lead with love, humility, and purpose in everything he does. Aaron Judge inspires him through his faith, leadership, and hard work on and off the field. He admires how Judge stays grounded, gives glory to God, and sets an example for younger players. Both remind him to stay humble, work hard, and always put faith and character first.
My son’s most memorable athletic moment wasn’t on the field—it was when he chose to skip his own baseball game to volunteer at a Buddy Ball event for kids with disabilities. He helped coach, encourage, and support them with patience and heart. That day showed his selflessness, leadership, and love for others. It was a powerful reminder that true character is built not just in games won, but in the choices made when no one’s watching.
