Gage Wood, an amazing baseball pitcher currently playing for the University of Arkansas’ Razorbacks, is making parents, family, and loved ones proud with his rising career.
Arkansas pitcher Gage Wood recently had a career-best performance, leading the team to a 3-0 victory over Murray State in a College World Series elimination game on Monday.
He nearly threw the first perfect game in College World Series history, setting down the first 21 batters, the longest perfect-game bid in the CWS since 1999.
Furthermore, Wood also threw a no-hitter, which is the third ever in the CWS, and first since 1960, and also the 9th no-hitter of the NCAA Tournament.
However, Gage Wood’s remarkable performance was not the only thing that grasped people’s attention in the game; his respect for his parents also won the hearts of millions.
After leading his team to victory, Gage Wood gave his stepfather, Brian Gould, the best Father’s Day gift, which was his ball from the final out of his no-hitter.
His parents, Chasity and Brian Gould, cheered from above Arkansas’ dugout as their son, Gage Wood, made history, then tossed the game ball to his dad and said, “Happy late Father’s Day!“
As the clips from the game continue to swirl all over the internet, many are curious to know more about Gage Wood’s parents and familial background.
While some wonder if Arkansas pitcher Gage Wood is related to former MLB star Kerry Wood, the answer is no. Despite sharing a passion for baseball and surname, the two are not related.
