In the world of NCAA baseball, the University of Texas' baseball team accomplished a unique feat – one of the most diverse rosters in the sport. Amongst that diverse roster lays a pair of brothers – another unique feat. The journey of the Duplantier brothers, Andre and Jayden, from playing baseball in their backyard in Humble, Texas, to sharing the field for Texas Baseball, is a story of brotherhood, perseverance, and representation.

Andre fell in love with the sport early and would often practice catching the ball with his father, while Jayden on the other hand preferred to focus his attention on the blossoming flowers in the field.
