DJ Santiago is a kid from the inner city of Cleveland Ohio who early in life found his self with a lot not going his way. His mother left the family when DJ was 2 and his family was very poor with very limited resources. DJ was of the mindset that his life would reach its peak in High School. 

However, DJ's incredible Dad introduced him to the game of baseball that would one day save his life. This game provided DJ a dream that could eventually get him out of the inner city and reach a better life. He thought about this often when he was alone, but it wasn’t until a Cincinnati Reds scout who saw DJ at player tryouts at just 15 years old, pulled him aside and simply said, “You got a shot to do something special in this game if you can keep your nose clean and keep working.” 

At that moment, DJ started to believe that story and not his own and it changed everything.
