What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

He loves the versatility, drive, and competition that the sport offers. He loves catching and throwing runners out at any base.

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Shoei othani. His love and dedication to the sport. He came from a different country and is taking over the baseball world setting new records.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

At times when hes down and out; he bounces back and has a very short memory. A bad play or a strike out doesn't hold this young athlete back. His strive to learn and become a better person/player on and off the field amazes me.
