Connor Mannion looked to be on track to follow the footsteps of his kin into a future on the baseball diamond, but he kept growing. Andy Kosco, Mannion’s grandfather, was an outfielder and first baseman for seven Major League Baseball teams over a 10-year span. Mannion also had two uncles who played professionally, and when he got to high school, Mannion was primed to become a pitcher on Lambert’s dominant baseball team.
