There are two teams warming up to face each other in the stadium in Detroit.

Both of them are made up of black high school students, joking and jostling with each other on the side of the field.

I started playing baseball around.

I'd say three.

I played t-ball with my dad, and I just went on from there.

This is Jacoby Radcliffe.

He's 18 years old.

He's actually built a little like my grandpa.

He's at least six feet tall and has that same slim frame.

But the most noticeable thing about him is his confidence.

My walkout song, okay, it's this song, it's called Outside by Mo 3.

It's a great song, by the way.

Baptize, it's nap time, and they can find me in an outside.

Get hogs high. Yeah, because I'm outside. I'm outside. by the way. Jacoby is about to play in a tribute game for the Negro leagues.

So he and the other players are decked out in the old-timey uniforms.

Jacoby is wearing the Chicago American Giant's signature gray jersey with bold red lettering and socks pulled high.

And this game is one of his last with his youth team.

I graduated high school June 7th, in the fall I will be attending Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

I'm on a baseball scholarship and academic, too.

It's very difficult because you had to go to a showcase to perform in front of a lot of scouts,

and the scouts have to like you in order to offer you.

So it was a bit of a challenge because there was a lot of good dudes there.
