Gerrit Cole talks about wife's decorated college softball career: "She has bragging rights"

In a Q&A session, MLB All-Star Gerrit Cole talked about his wife Amy and son Caden, and delved deep into how he sees a future for his kid in the world of MLB.

Upon being asked to describe his wife Amy Cole, he talked about how brilliant she is, how full of empathy and love she is.

Not only that, she is a college World Series champion and a four-year UCLA softball player. She is the sole Bruin in the family who has played in a national championship between his brother-in-law Brandon Crawford (Shortstop for San Francisco Giants), his sister Erin, sister-in-law Jenna, and himself.

"the only Bruin in the family to have a national championship between me and Brandon [Crawford, brother-in-law who plays for the San Francisco Giants] and my sister Erin and [sister-in-law] Jenna, so she has bragging rights over that" - Gerrit Cole said about wife Ami Cole.

On being asked about how Gerrit has been supported by his wife in the journey of shifting to New York and starting his journey with the Yankees, Gerrit said:

"she’s always been there for me, not just in New York … at my big moments throughout my career. She’s been there in my lowest points; she’s been there in my highest points."

"So grateful to share these moments with my boys" - Amy Cole wrote on Instagram.

Gerrit is thrilled to welcome son Caden to the world of MLB. In the Q&A session, he said it doesn't matter to him which team his son is playing for, he is going to be by his side like a supportive father, no matter what.
