We really don’t give enough credit to the moms of the world. What would we be without them (outside of half a DNA strand)? Erratic meat packages built off chaos, bouncing off life’s proverbial walls with no brakes? Moms rule. Moms keep us in check. In the case of Jarred Kelenic, without his mom, maybe we’re talking about a self-destructive, muscle-bound kettlebell of a human being, hellbent on self-sabotage. But Kelenic’s mom helped reverse the course in 2021, therapizing her son into a late-summer surge at the plate.
