Wichita State outfielder Kaleb Duncan gets us ready for baseball season by talking about how his family helps his athletic career and his mom's special role.

We also discuss his walk-up song, the reason he wears No. 53 and why he enjoys modeling his game after Mookie Betts and Ronald Acuna, Jr. Duncan also talks about the big impression made by Mike Sweeney and the big crowd at the First Pitch Banquet earlier this month.

Duncan is a sophomore outfielder from Goodyear, Ariz. He transferred to WSU after one season at Golden West Community College, where he hit .325 with eight doubles and 23 stolen bases. He earned all-conference and conference Gold Glove honors as a centerfielder.
