Kayden was born with a rare heart defect but despite having open heart surgery he puts his heart in every game

Kayden loves to learn and grow with every sport he plays. Baseball has always been where we have watched him succeed on and off the field. He’s always cheering his team on and striving to play his very best
Kayden loves watching greatest highlights for all sports. Ken Griffey Jr, Bo Jackson, Shohei Ohtani are some of his favorite baseball players. He loves their “heart and effort” in the game.
This past season Kayden stole second but had a slight injury. Getting dirt in his eye. He stayed in the game but when he could no longer keep his eye open the coach called him out. Kayden was heartbroken. Despite his injury he wanted to be there to battle for his team. He ended up having a cut in his eye but made it back out the next day to win the championship with his team
