Jaxon Buehlman

Jaxon Buehlman plays for Plant City Little League and was recently named an All-Star! He and the rest of his team just became the Minors Baseball Champions of the season on team V&R Insurance. Join us as we interview #44 as this week’s Athlete Of The Week!

How long have you been playing baseball?

I have been playing baseball for 5 years now.

What other sports do you play?

UA Rise flag football and I used to play soccer.

What’s a sport that you haven’t played that you’d like to give a try?

Rugby looks like a lot of fun. I bet I could be good at that if I tried.

Do you have a favorite highlight or career play?

I don’t have just one. My favorite is probably last fall season. I went the whole season with no strikeouts.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to make it to the MLB of course.

Who’s your favorite professional player in any sport?

Elly De La Cruz.  He plays for Cincinnati and I am wearing his number this All-Star season.

What advice would you give a kid who’s wanting to play a sport for the first time on a team?

Don’t worry about losing, listen to your coaches, and go have fun!

What’s your favorite meal or snack to eat after a game?

I can tear up some Chick-Fil-A nuggets.

If you got to make your own team, what would the name be and what color would the jerseys be?

I like the name PC Stingerz. Blue/black and yellow jerseys.

What are some of your favorite songs to listen to get ready for game day?

Rolex by Ayo & Teo. And Natural by Imagine Dragons.
