Tennis legends Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf have steered their children away from the game that made them famous, but that didn’t stop their eldest, 15-year-old son Jaden, from becoming a terrific athlete. He just chose to use his hand-eye coordination to strike a different ball.

Instead of a racket, Jaden wields a baseball bat and strives for a different kind of grand slam than his parents once did.

Jaden has become a national recruit on the diamond, playing in high-profile tournaments around the country. On Monday, his hard work (with a little assist from genetics) paid off as he announced, in an Instagram post, his verbal commitment to play baseball at USC.
