VYPE: What are your goals for this season? 

Brayden: My goals for this season are to become better every day and be a leader to my teammates.

VYPE: What has your baseball taught you that you use in your daily life? 

Brayden: Baseball has taught me that failure is okay as long as you learn from it and move on.

VYPE: Who is your favorite teacher from any grade and why?

Brayden: My favorite teacher was my freshman English teacher, Mrs. Walker, because she made learning interesting and more fun.

VYPE: Who inspires you and why?

Brayden: Coach (Brad) Gilbert has always inspired me by how he always does things the right way and how he is always living his life for God.

VYPE: What teammate has left the biggest impression on you and why? 

Brayden: Matthew Talburt is a teammate who has left a good impression on me because he is always putting in extra work and staying late to clean up.

VYPE: What is your favorite part about being on a team?  

Brayden: My favorite part about being on a team is that I get the opportunity to lead my teammates and show them how things should be done by leading by example.

VYPE: You can pick any place for a summer vacation, where do you go and who do you take with you? 

Brayden: I would want to go to Hawaii, and I would take my parents, my brother, Devin, London Winans, Brycen Smith and Aiden Seawright.

VYPE: Why are you passionate about your sport?

Brayden: I am passionate about baseball because it can show you your highest highs and your lowest lows, and you have to show up with your best every single day.

VYPE: Here is your chance to say hello, goodbye or thank you to anyone you wish. 

Brayden: I would like to thank my parents, Devin, London, Brycen, Aiden, and everyone who has helped me get to where I am today.
