Timeline

1964

Eugene's uncle, Kenny Washington, played basketball for two John Wooden-led NCAA championship UCLA teams in 1964 and 1965.

1989

Jason Alias Heyward (born August 9, 1989), nicknamed "J-Hey", is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB).

He has previously played in MLB for the Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, and Chicago Cubs.

The son of Dartmouth graduates, Jason Heyward was born on August 9, 1989, in Ridgewood, New Jersey.

His father, Eugene, is from Beaufort, South Carolina, and mother, Laura, is from New York City; they met at Dartmouth.

Eugene played basketball and majored in engineering and Laura studied French.

1995

Jason has one younger brother, Jacob (b. 1995), who attended the University of Miami and played baseball for the Hurricanes.

2005

One of Heyward's close friends and teammates from the 2005 AAAA Georgia state championship team, Andrew Wilmot, died in a traffic collision while attending college.

Wilmot was a catcher who wore the uniform number 22, the number Heyward would later wear in his major league career to honor him.

2007

Originally the Braves' first-round selection in the 2007 MLB draft from Henry County High School in Georgia, Heyward began his minor league career at age 17.

He appeared in three minor league all-star games and won two minor league player of the year awards.

2010

In 2010, multiple media outlets named Heyward the top prospect in all of baseball.

Heyward debuted in MLB as Atlanta's starting right fielder on Opening Day 2010.

He was named to the National League (NL) All-Star team that season and finished second in the NL Rookie of the Year Award voting.

In February 2010, an Associated Press reporter learned from a varsity coach that Heyward's early batting practice exploits proved fatal to an oak tree in deep center field at the high school playing field.

Facing off against future Major League Baseball (MLB) catcher Buster Posey of Lee County High in the Georgia Class AAAA baseball championship during Heyward's sophomore year, Henry County won two of the best-of-three series.

Posey was actually the starting pitcher in the first game as Henry Country prevailed, 2–1.

Heyward hit a game-tying 400 ft home run in Game 2 to cap an eight-run comeback, but Lee County prevailed 14–10.

The next game, Heyward's three-run single was the game and series winner in a 16–14 outcome.

During his junior season, he again helped lead the Henry County High Warhawks to the state championship.

As a senior, he batted .520 with eight home runs (HR) and 29 runs batted in (RBIs).

2011

While injuries limited his playing time in 2011 and 2013, Heyward enjoyed a breakout season in 2012; that season, he hit 27 home runs, drove in 82 runs, scored 93 runs, and stole 21 bases.

2012

He won both the Fielding Bible and the NL Gold Glove Awards for right fielders in 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, and he received Wilson's MLB Defensive Player of the Year in 2014.

2014

Heyward was traded to the Cardinals after the 2014 season.

2015

In December 2015, he signed with the Cubs as a free agent; he was a member of the Cubs' World Series-winning 2016 team.

Heyward was released by the Cubs in November 2022 and played for the Dodgers in 2023.

Standing 6 ft tall and weighing 245 lb, Heyward throws and bats left-handed.

He has worn uniform No. 22 through most of his major league career in honor of a high school friend and teammate who died in a traffic collision.

Heyward has been widely regarded as one of the best outfield defenders in MLB.

2016

Jacob was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 2016.

The Heywards moved to the Atlanta metropolitan area soon after he was born.

Jason played and showed marked ability in baseball from an early age.

Before he turned 10, he played for a national championship.

Eugene helped fuel both of his sons' passion for baseball.

He dedicated himself to driving them to every tournament and competition possible in the family Chevrolet Suburban, which racked up hundreds of thousands of miles between the events and his 90-minute work commute to and from Robins Air Force Base to the south in Houston County.

While his father emphasized that working hard and approaching the game with discipline were important, he also stressed that baseball was to be, above all else, fun.

Heyward has maintained this same approach throughout his youth and professional career.

One tournament in which he played was the renowned East Cobb Baseball program, where he was a standout and has produced other major league players.

Heyward attended Henry County High School in McDonough near Atlanta.

Heyward briefly played basketball in his youth but concentrated exclusively on baseball in high school at his father's urging.
