An abundance of energy led Jeremy Stoudemire into the world of sports at an early age. Stoudemire started his journey into baseball playing in tee ball and never put a bat down again. “I actually started in tee ball because even before I started school my mom put me in some kind of activity because I had so much energy,” Stoudemire said. “She felt like it would be good for me to play some kind of sport. She thought baseball would be fitting.”
