In a recent interview, Worcester Red Sox first baseman Niko Kavadas spoke with Kevin Shea about his journey growing up in South Bend, Indiana and playing for the University of Notre Dame. Kavadas fondly remembered his experience as an absolute blast, enjoying the opportunity to play in his hometown and receive support from his family throughout college.
Now in his second season with the WooSox, Kavadas reflected on the highs and lows of the baseball season. He emphasized that it’s crucial to extend those highs as long as possible while quickly making adjustments when things aren’t going well.
Kavadas’ time at Notre Dame had a significant impact on his development both on and off the field. He learned valuable lessons about perseverance, handling pressure, and teamwork. Looking back fondly on his time as a Fighting Irish, Kavadas carries those experiences with him as he continues to pursue his passion for baseball with the Worcester Red Sox.
As Kavadas navigates the challenges of professional baseball, he remains grateful for the opportunity to represent his community and follow his dreams. He attributes much of this success to his upbringing in South Bend, which instilled in him values of hard work, dedication, and family support. With each game, Kavadas strives to honor those roots while making a name for himself in the world of baseball.
