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

What I love most about baseball is being part of a team and getting to play the game I love with my friends. I love stepping up to the plate, pitching, making big plays, and knowing my teammates are counting on me. Baseball has taught me to work hard, never give up, and always try to get better. My favorite memories are the big wins, home runs, and celebrating with my team. I hope baseball is part of my life for a long time!” ⚾️❤️

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

“My family inspires me the most because they are always there cheering me on, whether I have my best game or a tough one. They’ve taught me to work hard, stay humble, and never give up on something I love. On the field, my coaches and teammates inspire me to keep getting better and be the best teammate I can be. They remind me that baseball isn’t just about winning—it’s about working hard, having fun, and being there for your team.” ⚾️❤️

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

One of my proudest moments as JT’s mom was watching him hit two home runs in one day, including a grand slam. Of course I was proud of what he accomplished, but I was even more proud knowing how much work, determination, and heart led to that moment. Watching his face light up and seeing his teammates celebrate with him is something I’ll never forget. It reminded me that all the practices, long days, wins, and losses are helping shape him into more than just a baseball player.
