Braden Shewmake finally made his debut for the Atlanta Braves on Friday. His father is a well-known baseball coach for the UT Dallas. He helped Braden become the professional baseball player that he is today.

According to Braden, both his parents, especially his father sacrificed a lot to have him play baseball. They sold off their boat to put that money into him playing baseball.

Shane Shewmake earned his bachelor's degree from Arkansas State in 1992 and later earned his master's degree from Texas A&M-Commerce. He started his playing career at Eastfield College. Later he also played at Arkansas State University and Hardin-Simmons University.
