At 5 feet 4, Waiakea junior Trayden Tamiya may look undersized on the baseball diamond, but he always finds a way to stick out with a skill-set sharpened by an all-consuming work ethic.
Last season, he batted .389 with a .560 on-base percentage and landed on the All-BIIF Division I first team at second base, where ground balls turned into automatic outs and quick innings.
The Warriors captured the BIIF championship last season in the fifth straight year of the Great Title-Sharing tradition. Crosstown rivals Waiakea and Hilo have alternated winning the league since 2012 when the Warriors also pocketed the HHSAA state crown.
