Keian Kanetani was the pilot of a baseball season joyride for the ages last year, when Keaau reached the BIIF championship for the first time.
The Cougars lost to Hilo, but that didn’t diminish his accomplishments. He batted .581 and was named the BIIF Division I Player of the Year.
There’s one thing Kanetani does better than hit a baseball, and it’s not pitching. Although, he went 3-1 with a 2.21 ERA.
The 5-foot-10 senior is a home-run slugger at hitting the books. His cumulative grade-point average is 4.009, and he’s in the running with a dozen others to be the school’s valedictorian graduation speaker.
