Head coach Tim Corbin on Kea: “Like Mike Mancini, Aukai has Little League World Series Champion status, leading his Hawai’i team to the title in 2018. Aukai will strengthen the catching position with his abilities and presence. Aukai has strong hands and can really drive the baseball, while showing good receiving skills and a strong arm. I like his upside on both sides of the ball. Aukai had a very good first semester by being named to the honor roll. Positive young man in every way.”
