Payton Tolle's mother, Jina, provided not only emotional support but also instrumental life lessons about joy in playing baseball, influencing her son profoundly.
They called her Momma, and she had a unique ability to heal not just physical wounds, but also emotional ones, transforming Tolle's approach to baseball.
Tolle recalls how his mother's advice shifted his focus: 'Show 'em why people love the game of baseball,' leading to a newfound joy in the sport.
Despite only one collegiate offer when Tolle ended high school, he found a perfect match with Wichita State University and its coaching staff.
