Kokodynski, who calls Scottsdale, Ariz., home, will soon play collegiate baseball at West Coast Conference member Loyola Marymount University. He played his high school ball at Brophy College Prep and posted solid career numbers - a 3.25 earned run average and a .315 batting average.

Mason is the son of "Big George" and Janeen Kokodynski. His dad is a dentist and his mother is a business owner. "Koko" has two younger sisters, Hailey and Kate, and a pair of dogs, Lucy and Ethel. He loves the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. If given the chance, he said, he would be Spiderman. Two other loves are playing Fortnite with his homies and listening to 70s and 80s music. Two of his favorite songs are Brandy by Looking Glass and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' American Girl. Mason said he makes good bratwurst and pancakes, and enjoys golfing -though he admits he's terrible.
