My proudest moment isn’t one particular hit or game—it’s watching Colton grow over five years of Rep baseball into the 18U player he is today with the Barrie Baycats. Seeing him step onto the field with confidence, work hard, and always find a way to help his team—whether with a single, double, triple, or stealing a base to create a scoring opportunity—is something I’m incredibly proud of. As a dad, watching his dedication, resilience, and love for the game grow has been the greatest reward.
