Summary
Hailing from Hawaii, Kuhio and Wehiwa Aloy share more than just a love for baseball—they share a bond rooted in family, culture, and perseverance. In this episode, the "Bash Bruddahs" take us through their journey from growing up on the islands to finding their way to Arkansas. They reflect on the challenges of getting noticed without the exposure of travel ball, how they built their strength during the COVID shutdown, and how the transfer portal finally brought them together on the same team. Most importantly, they share how their Hawaiian roots keep them grounded, their family-first mentality, and what it means to bring the Aloha spirit to Razorback baseball.
