Coconut Creek native Jaiden Garcia has officially committed to Chattahoochee Valley Community College to continue his baseball career.

“It is a dream come true,” Garcia said. “Knowing that all the hard work and countless hours of training when no one was watching has finally paid off. I’m looking forward to continuing the hard work and reaching even higher levels.”

Garcia’s baseball journey began at four years old with Coconut Creek Little League, where he played for four years before moving into travel baseball. He competed with the Coconut Creek-based Broward Blizzards from 8U through 13U before joining the South Florida Scorpions for his 14U, 15U and 16U seasons.

He later played for the Next Level Scout Team at 17U while attending Westminster Academy. Garcia chose Westminster for high school baseball because his home school, Coconut Creek High School, has no baseball program.

Garcia has impressed during his time with the Lions, playing two years of varsity baseball while hitting .361 with 31 RBIs and 32 runs scored.

When it came time to choose a college, Garcia felt Chattahoochee Valley offered him the best opportunity to compete immediately and continue developing at the next level.

“I also felt wanted by the coaches as they offered a full scholarship,” Garcia said. “They are also helping me reach my dreams.”

With one more varsity season remaining, Garcia will eventually join a Chattahoochee Valley program that went 30-27 last season and has produced several MLB Draft picks, including four-time MLB All-Star Tim Hudson.
