Spring is around the corner!⚾ Despite all the snow and ice 🥶, a lot of baseball players have already started throwing in preparation for the upcoming season.

Happy birthday, Jordan! 🥳

Jordan has done an outstanding job mastering his new role while continuing to be someone his teammates can rely on. His work ethic, thoughtfulness, and willingness to go the extra mile make a meaningful impact every day.

When he's not busy formatting a new spreadsheet, you can find him spending time with his girls, drinking an alani, listening to some K-pop. We appreciate all that you do for our team and hope you have the best birthday!
