Coco Gauff "beyond happy" for brother Codey as he confirms commitment to University of Missouri's baseball team

Coco Gauff has voiced her happiness over her brother Codey committing to the baseball team of the University of Missouri. Codey will represent the Missouri Tigers, who play in NCAA Division 1.

Gauff's two younger brothers, Codey and Cameron, are avid sports lovers. While Cameron, the youngest of the three siblings, is only 11, he has already expressed his desire to grow up to be a National Football League (NFL) player one day. The 11-year-old also enjoys playing tennis.

Meanwhile, Codey, 17, appears on his way to realizing his professional baseball dreams. Recently, the youngster took to Instagram and confirmed his commitment to the Missouri Tigers baseball team, the official baseball team of the University of Missouri. Codey thanked God, his family, coaches, and friends. He wrote,

"I am super excited to announce that I will be committing to Mizzou University. First I want to thank God without him none of this would be possible, I would also like to thank my family, coaches and close friends that have pushed me along the way. I want to thank the mizzou coaching staff for believing in me."

Following this, Coco Gauff commented on Codey's post, writing about her pride and happiness at the positive development in her younger brother's life.

"So proud of you Codey! Beyond happy for you!"
