Jayden Davis Pronunciation
Head coach Tim Corbin on Davis: “Jayden had a tremendous impact on our team last year. He was one of our leading hitters while holding down second base. He is mentally steady and shows up with the same attitude every day. He has a uniqueness in is his ability to play the game with simplicity, enjoyment and for the love of competition. My compliment to him, is that he could have played in the 60’s or 70’s. He will be a key part of our team again this year. Outstanding student as well, earning Dean’s List honors this fall.”
