Grae Kessinger, a 26-year-old infielder for the Houston Astros, is carrying on a family legacy in baseball. His grandfather, Don Kessinger, was a shortstop for the Chicago Cubs for 11 seasons before becoming the baseball coach at Ole Miss. Grae’s father, Kevin, also played baseball for his father at Ole Miss and was drafted by the Cubs in the 22nd round in 1992. Grae was drafted by the Astros in the second round in 2019 and made his Major League debut in 2022. Despite facing limited playing time with the Astros, Grae remains focused on improving his defense and learning from his grandfather, who he calls his mentor and role model.
