If you had the opportunity to go to a K-State baseball game this year, you probably took notice of Colten Tadtman. Keeping busy from the first inning to the last, this eight-year-old had a very important job.
He spent the 2015 season as the team's batboy.
After every at-bat, Colten would sprint from the Wildcats' dugout to home plate where he would grab the disposed-of bat and sprint back to the dugout before the next pitch.
He's quick - probably one of the quickest kids on his baseball team, he said - and he loves baseball, so there is, perhaps, no better job out there for him.
