Get to Know Mathis ...
At what age did you start playing baseball and how did you get into baseball?- I started baseball at the age of 11. When I was 10, a coach came to my school and made my class try baseball. That's how I discovered the sport.
- I drink a tropical red bull 20 minutes before the game starts and I take a minute to think about my family..
- Volleyball because I’m tall and I really like to play it.
