A 12-YEAR-OLD baseball player with a skill set four to five years higher than his age.
That's the impression of some coaches on Ateneo Grade School Bronco's Aiden Lazaro, member of the Philippine junior team that competed at the U-12 Asian Baseball Championship last November in Matsuyama, Japan.'His national team coaches would always tell me that the skills level of Aiden is that of a 15-, 16- or a 17-year-old player,' Aid-en's mom Shelly told The Manila Times.'Now, he just turned 12.
'I like to think that whenever I have a bad game or a very good game, I like to think that it is just one game, not really an overall performance because one game doesn't really define a player's potential,' said Aiden, who stands at 5-foot-3.Aiden has been a winner since kindergarten, too, with his Ateneo teams claiming the championship every year at the TOT Metro Schools Tournaments.
