Jaden Agassi, son of Andre Agassi & Steffi Graf, making name for himself in baseball

per MaxPreps:

With two parents that rank among the greatest to ever play their chosen sport, it's no surprise Jaden Agassi has developed into one of the top athletes in the Class of 2020. That baseball is the sport Agassi where excels might raise a few eyebrows.

Ranked the No. 66 prospect in his class by Perfect Game, Agassi is the top-ranked player in the state of Nevada. He recently participated in the Area Code Games Underclass event, which featured the top players in the country from the Classes of 2020 and 2021.

This might seem at odds with the fact that his father, Andre Agassi, is an eight-time Grand Slam winner in tennis and his mother, Steffi Graf, is a 22-time Grand Slam winner. Both are members of the International Tennis Hall of Fame. However, both have been supportive of their son's choice of baseball.

Agassi, a 6-foot-3, 212-pound pitcher/third baseman, has been making a name for himself on the baseball field, enough so that he has committed to play at the University of Southern California. His fastball has been clocked in the high 80s, but he has developed as a hitter, rapping an RBI double at the Perfect Game Underclass AA Games two weeks ago.

Like her husband, Graf is a familiar face at Jaden's events.

"They're very active. They're keeping us very busy," Graf told Hello Magazine in 2014 about her two children. "(Jaden) plays baseball and it's a lot of fun. He plays more baseball tournament than we used to play tennis tournaments when we were young."
