It’s rare that an athlete can boast of having parents who both competed at the apex level of a major sport. When you’re talking about a combined 167 professional singles titles, 30 Grand Slam titles and a pair of Olympic gold medals, that’s some serious talent cache in the pipeline.
Jaden Agassi, the son of tennis legends Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, did not follow what most would see as a natural progression to the courts, but instead chose his first love, baseball.
Agassi was featured in a recent MLB story after being named as a pitcher on the German national squad (his mother’s birthplace). His team will complete in the upcoming World Baseball Classic (WBC) qualifiers in Tucson, Arizona in March, with hopes of advancing to the 2026 tournament.
