Troy loves the grind, the early mornings, the pressure, the moments that test your heart. What he loves most isn’t just winning, but pushing himself beyond limits, growing through every challenge, and being part of something bigger than himself. Baseball is more than a sport to him. Baseball is where he finds purpose, strength, and the fire to keep going no matter what.
Troy is inspired by his dad, who taught him to love and respect the game, to show up not just with skill but with heart, and to lift others even on hard days. On the field, he’s inspired by his teammates and players who share his grit and passion. He respects all athletes, teammates or competitors, and draws motivation from every one of them.
It has to be when Troy hit his first home run. He has always been the one cheering loudest for his teammates, celebrating their wins, and putting in the work to reach the same goals. When his moment finally came, it wasn’t just a big play, it was proof of his heart, hustle, and resilience. Seeing him round those bases, knowing how hard he worked for it, made me prouder than ever. No one deserved that moment more than Troy.
