Like his baseball brothers Kolten and Kean Wong, hard work is a hobby for Chayce Ka‘aua, the University of Hawaii sophomore catcher, who hit the weight room with a passion during the offseason.
The 2013 Hilo graduate redshirted his first year and batted .260 with 16 RBIs and a team second-best .351 on-base percentage last season. He played in 47 of 53 games for the Rainbow Warriors (21-32).
Ka‘aua weighed 180 pounds last year and now carries a muscular 200 pounds on his 5-foot-10 frame while maintaining his flexibility.
His parents, Rayce and Christy Ka‘aua, can be proud that’s not his only area of improvement.
