Tanner Houck has the word “Believe” spelled out on his spine in the Red Sox’ font, with the “B” being the team’s logo, according to MassLive’s Christopher Smith.
The 6-foot-5, 230-pound right-handed pitcher reportedly got his first tattoo at age 17. It reads “Veni. Vidi. Vici,” which translates to “I came, I saw, I conquered.” Not long after, Hauck got another tattoo when he was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 12th round of the 2014 MLB Draft out of high school.
He played college baseball at Missouri instead of signing with Toronto but commemorated the event by getting the round, pick number, team name, and year tattooed (RD12 PK354 Blue Jays ’14) on his wrist, MassLive reports.
