Christian Haupt

About

He is a prodigy baseball enthusiast who first gained national attention through his mother's YouTube page. When he was two years old, she posted a video of his skills at pitching and hitting that went viral. His brief stardom included a cameo in an Adam Sandler movie and many opportunities to throw opening pitches, especially for his favorite team the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Before Fame

While his talent with baseball is undeniable and insatiable, everyone's fifteen minutes have to end. Thus, he went six years with little entertainment exposure. In 2017 his mother would write a book alleging that her son was actually the reincarnation of baseball icon Lou Gehrig based on information he gave her as a toddler. 

Trivia

He's had an impressive career on and off the field as a child. He was the youngest person ever to throw a ceremonial first pitch for the MBA. In 2012 the photograph of him on the mound, mid-throw, concentrating on his form and follow-through became the top sports photo of that year. He continues to play baseball in major throwing positions.

Family Life

His mother Cathy Bird is the one who wrote the book about his alleged past-life regressions he experienced as a toddler called The Boy Who Knew Too Much. She worked in sports for most of her career but later would become a full-time Realtor for Coldwell. His parents are divorced and he moved to live with his mother and oldest sister Charlotte.
