“I am pleased
to be a part of Kids FIRST In Sports’ efforts to put
FUN and PLAY back into youth sports. It is important that
we all remember that the most important part of playing any
sport is having fun.”
Trevor
is the perfect role model for Kids FIRST
In Sports. As a high school athlete, he played in
the shadow of his older brother, Glenn, who was all-everything
in California. No colleges were interested in Trevor who attended
Cypress (California) College where he grew three inches. Arizona
signed him where he played third base for two years batting
.321. After being drafted in the 11th round by the Cincinnati
Reds in 1989, Trevor struggled for two years in Class A ball
batting .249 for Billings and .212 for Charleston.
The Reds decided that
Trevor would not make it as a shortstop, however, Jim Lett,
his manager, knew he had a strong arm and encouraged him to
try pitching. With a 95 mph fastball, Trevor was an instant
success compiling a 2.90 ERA with 169 strikeouts in 142 2/3
innings. In 1993, as a 25 year old, the Florida Marlins selected
him in the expansion draft.
Trevor holds nearly every major league
record for a relief pitcher and is a sure bet for the Baseball
Hall of Fame. He lives with his wife Tracy and their three
boys Brody, Wyatt, and Quinn in San Diego. Trevor is fiercely
protective of his time with his family and dedicated to helping
make organized youth sports fun for all kids.
Trevor played for Jerry Stitt at the University
of Arizona and the two have remained close friends.
