Ace pitcher.

At 9 years old, Avi loves all parts of the game — pitching, hitting, fielding, and running the bases. When he’s not playing baseball, he’s busy with basketball, tennis, skiing and cheering for the San Francisco Giants… and the Niners… and the Warriors… and the Sharks…

He loves all things marine life and also loves to read — which comes in handy when he needs to study the ballpark snacks menu. 

Cool under pressure and always ready to play (unless he’s in the middle of a really good book).

Ignite’s Ohtani.

I love baseball!!! My favorite baseball player is Shohei Ohtani. I want to be like him, an elite pitcher, hitter and a fast runner. When I’m not playing baseball, I like to eat pizza and sushi. Also, my favorite color is turquoise. I like blue and a hint of green.
