Worcester, Massachusetts — Boston Red Sox Pitcher Payton Tolle is 6’6” and 260 Lbs. He is a great contestant, and someone who participated in three sports in high school: football, basketball, and baseball. He has a good message for young athletes.

"I mean, I think that that's the advice that I have if any parents come to me and say what should I do,"  said Tolle. "Like being an athlete, I would not not saying that I am a great athlete at all, but I would add the footwork that you learned from football like the strength piece of football just being the conditioning part of basketball like it's all gonna all mix into just being a better athlete and I think that's the biggest hurdle for people to get, yes being baseball player is great but being an athlete and being a very well-rounded athlete is gonna make your baseball go even higher.”
