Wil, now a sophomore at the University of Missouri, pitches for the Tigers. He had his own battle with an injury that sidelined him for over a year and changed some of his plans, but watching his mom endure life’s challenges, at a young age, taught him how to react to his own. Wyatt, a sophomore at Blair Oaks High School, followed Wil’s path on the pitching mound but is creating his own incredible journey to greatness. He led his team to victory last year in the state cham- pionship game, as a freshman, with a cool, calm and collective demeanor.
