“Outside of the joy that my family brings me, baseball has brought me more blessings in this life than I can count,” Pauls said. “It is an amazing game full of the very best people. UMPS CARE represents something that matters a great deal to me – using baseball to help provide life opportunities to people who may not have access to them otherwise. I am so very excited to be a part of this meaningful and important work that impacts the lives of so many young people.”

Fun fact: She and her husband Steve love to cook (and eat!), play golf and enjoy walks with Jeter, their Labrador.
