Jaden Agassi, the 16-year-old son of tennis legends Andre Aggasi and Steffi Graf, has a different kind of Grand Slam in his future than the one you might have expected.

According to Norm Clarke of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Jaden Aggasi has verbally committed to USC to play baseball.

Two former world No. 1 tennis players created a baseball star, huh? How about that. Clarke notes that the younger Agassi is one of the top players in his age group as both a pitcher and hitter.

I stand corrected: USC-bound (verbally) Jaden Agassi is being homeschooled.Thrown multiple perfect games & is a power hitter. Spurned tennis

At least Andre Agassi has his new coaching gig if he ever gets the urge to keep working with tennis players. All joking aside, Andre and Steffi must be thrilled. It sounds like their son has the potential to be a star on the diamond.
