Aukai Kea Pronunciation

Head coach Tim Corbin on Kea: “Aukai Kea made excellent use of his redshirt year and has shown significant growth across all areas of our program. He is extremely strong and continues to be one of our top workers in the weight room. Aukai has matured in many areas on campus and took a major step forward academically, earning honor roll recognition and posting his best semester to date. Offensively, Aukai is making steady strides as a hitter and possesses very good power. Where he has grown the most is behind the plate, as his receiving and throwing skills have taken meaningful steps forward. He carried that progress into the summer, earning All-Star honors in the NECBL. I am very proud of Aukai’s development and the direction he continues to move.”
