The 15-year-old son of Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf announced on Instagram that he had committed to play baseball at Southern California. He is USC’s ninth commitment for the class of 2020.
Jaden, a 6-2 high school sophomore, is a pitcher who can hit. According to the Los Angeles Times, his fastball was clocked at 87 MPH in January.
He plays on the Las Vegas Recruits travel team — a lot, according to his mom.
“Our older one plays baseball and it’s a lot of fun,” Graf said in a recent interview with Hello Magazine.
“He plays more baseball tournaments than we played tennis tournaments when we were young.
In America they have a lot of organized sports for baseball, football, the big sports. They’ve got a kind of community; they have a lot of leagues. He did try soccer first.
He tried one season but didn’t like the contact of it.”
