Stanley "SJ" is 12, but he’s already hitting home runs and striking out batters like he’s playing in the big leagues. Pick Stan the Man
Thank you for generously supporting Stanley 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.
As an only child, SJ gets the chance to compete with kids his age while also building lasting friendships. It’s a win-win—he’s not just pushing himself to be better, but also connecting with others who share his love for the game.
SJ’s mentor and lifelong coach is none other than his dad, Stan Sr. A former baseball player himself, Stan Sr. is the one SJ looks up to most and dreams of following in his footsteps. With his dad by his side, SJ not only learns the game but also how to carry himself both on and off the field. It’s clear—SJ wants to be just like his dad, and that’s the best coach he could ask for.
SJ has the most amazing personality, both on and off the field. He thrives under pressure, and that’s when he truly shines. Whether it's pitching 3 innings with virtually no earned runs or hitting his first home run as a grand slam, SJ rises to the occasion every time. He’s a game-changer, no matter the situation!
