Keen Dodger fans who tuned into the College World Series this week might have noticed the name Kaeden Kent.
The son of former Dodgers infielder Jeff Kent, Kaeden got a chance to make a name for himself with the Texas A&M baseball team Monday. In the absence of superstar Braden Montgomery (who left the Aggies’ June 8 game against Oregon), Kent was thrust into the spotlight of college baseball’s grandest stage.
During A&M’s NCAA tournament run, Kent had a .429 average, 14 RBIs, and two home runs. One of those homers was a critical grand slam against Oregon in Game 2 of the super regional.
