A second University Heights Academy baseball player will be part of the 2026 Hoptown Hoppers this summer.
The team announced on Tuesday morning that the Blazers’ Jaiden Miles, a senior pitcher/outfielder, will play for the Hoppers this summer.

He joins UHA teammate Hayden Hunt on the the Hoppers’ 2026 roster.
Hoptown also announced that pitcher Heath Henley would be returning to the Hoppers this season.
