Coco Gauff's mother, Candi, lovingly shows her support as son Codey achieves impressive feat in baseball journey

The Coco Gauff household in Delray Beach isn't just buzzing with tennis talk. Like his sister Coco, Codey Gauff is also making a name for himself, just in a different sport. Their mother, Candi Gauff, is a fan of both.

On Sunday, Candi reshared a graphic where Codey was hailed as a "Top 2026 Prospect in Country." It seems his standout performances with the East Coast Sox at the 17U Ultimate Baseball Championship are bringing him immense praise in the baseball circuits. Candi dropped clapping emojis to show her support for Codey.

For Coco Gauff, both her brothers, Codey and Cameron, have been her pillars for support, ones she can fall upon whenever required. She said as much during her interaction with Vogue:

“My brothers Codey and Cameron are definitely my biggest support… They always root for me. … When I do well, they’re still going to make fun of me. And when I do bad, they’re still going to make fun of me.”

Codey, who will start his journey in college baseball this fall, has appeared in higher-tier showcases (WWBA, DREAM Series). He's climbing the spots on the Minority Baseball Prospects All‑American list.
