The Gauff siblings are serving up a double dose of sports fandom! And we are loving it. While Coco Gauff is aspiring to make her debut at the Olympics this season, her brother Codey is probably stepping up for a home run! As the tennis titan Coco Gauff’s family branches out in different sports, let’s get the inside scoop on Codey’s first stride into a Major League Baseball career.
Coco Gauff’s parents had a strict rule for their children growing up: they should play at least one sport. While Gauff chose a tennis ball, her brothers, Cameron and Codey, opted for a different one. Among them, Codey, who is three years younger than Coco, shifted to play baseball. Although he likes to keep a low-key profile, his prowess in baseball can never be hidden, as they shine brightly as ever now.
Since childhood, he has not only played baseball as a mode of recreation but also represented his school, playing for the Elite Squad Academy. Although he remains “uncommitted” to playing baseball for his college, nothing could diminish his sporting endeavors. Currently, he plays for Delray Beach, Florida, as a 2026 Grad. And his amazing switch-hitting and incredible pace while moving behind the plate allude to his potential to reach the top of the sport, much like his sister, who now ranks at World No. 2!

On the 16th birthday of Codey, Coco Gauff took to her Instagram and shared some adorable childhood pictures of them. And what she wrote in the caption captured all our attention. “Thanks for being my biggest cheerleader…” Besides, Coco Gauff has previously mentioned about her admiration for his younger brother, teaching how she has learned from him both on a professional as well as on a personal level.
“I think honestly you learn almost more from kids that you do from adults at times, because they are so, I guess, unbiased and carefree in the world. Especially my brother Codey. He has this really confident but low-key persona about him. That’s something that I really try to emulate on the court,” the reigning U.S. Open champion said. While Coco Gauff’s brother makes his own path for the future, we will witness them both leave an inedible mark in the sporting industry forever!
