March 2026 Athletes of the Month

Jayden Cruz

If you set the right example, you won't need to worry about the rules.

As long as I have known Jayden Cruz he has been one of the most positive people in our program. I have never seen Jayden disappointed or frustrated in what he is working on and more important than all, I have always seen him as a great teammate. Jayden has worked so hard over the first few years while in the Bandits program and is flourishing as a leader in his age group. Congratulations to Jayden, our March Athlete of the Month.

Jayden began coming to the club a few years ago and is now entering his third year of the Bandits program. He loves baseball; it is written all over his face. He enters and leaves with a big smile. He is very passionate about baseball and always looking to work and learn more. Jayden played for Francisco Martinez for two years. Francisco said, “Jayden Cruz is a wonderful player and a great teammate. He works hard on improving is game, as he is usually at the facility 3-4 times a week. Jayden, always has a great attitude and a positive mindset. He is a wonderful kid and very deserving of the award.” This year Jayden moved up teams because of his great play. This year’s coach Onix Mercado said, “In the past few years I have been watching Jayden grow and become a really good baseball player. His progress hasn't been through luck, he has been putting in a lot of work in his conditioning and baseball skills. Jayden is a very good kid, teammate and a very coachable player. He never complains about anything and he does everything we ask him to do. He is a great kid and deserves to be athlete of the month. Congrats you have earned it with all their hard work.”

Congratulations to Jayden Cruz. Keep up the great work.
