Baseball is his outlet. He puts in 110% everytime. He goes through so much having a terminally ill sister so baseball is his escape.

He loves the game of baseball because of how much it makes him think. He has such drive and focus when it comes to pitching and he loves to calculate what pitch needs to come next. He also loves playing the game with his teammates. He is one of the biggest supporters on the team and loves to cheer anyone up when they feel down.
His sister. One of Garrett’s little sisters was diagnosed with a terminal genetic syndrome called Sanfilippo Syndrome when she was 3. It’s a form of childhood dementia. Garrett knows how much his sister goes through everyday and that’s why he always gives even practice all he has.
The moment he hit his first Home run. Garrett has always struggled with his batting. He gets very frustrated with it but something just clicked with him this at bat and when he swung it was gone. He was so focused on getting to first base he didn’t even realize he had even hit it over the fence.
