Atlanta Braves pitcher Dylan Lee reunites with Valley nurse who predicted he would be an athlete
VISALIA, Calif. (KFSN) — A South Valley nurse made a prediction about the baby in her care and fast-forward years later, it came true.
Registered nurse Kim Hofer shared a heart-warming reunion with Atlanta Braves pitcher Dylan Lee on Friday.
Lee visited Kaweah Health, where he was born 30 years ago, to visit the nurse who saw into his future.
Hofer took ‘footprints’ of the newborns and judging by the size of Lee’s baby feet, she predicted he would become an athlete.
Lee happened to find the footprint keepsake and sought out the nurse who helped him take his first step into his future.
“I guess when she put my feet on the paper, it barely fit. To her, used to doing it to other kids and then doing my feet, she said, ‘Oh man, this kid is gonna be an athlete,’ and I was like, ‘Well, her fruition came true,’” Lee said.
Lee went to Dinuba High School, played at College of the Sequoias and Fresno State.
The former world champion encourages parents to allow their children to stay active and play several sports.
On Saturday, he’ll make an appearance at Tulare’s Fishing Derby at Del Lago Park.

ATLANTA – A major crash involving eight vehicles shut down all southbound lanes of the Downtown Connector early Friday morning, causing significant traffic delays near University Avenue.
What we know:
The crash was reported on Interstate 75/Interstate 85 just before University Avenue, with injuries confirmed at the scene. Traffic was being diverted off the connector at Interstate 20, Exit 247, while the entrance ramp from I-20 to the connector southbound was also closed. Drivers were advised to use Exit 56A to McDaniel Street or alternate routes including Metropolitan Parkway or Interstate 285. The scene was cleared and lanes began reopening around 6:30 a.m. FOX 5 Atlanta is waiting for a final report on what happened.
A separate serious injury crash was also reported in DeKalb County on Lawrenceville Highway westbound between Montreal Road and Interstate 285. All lanes were blocked, and authorities said the incident involved a pedestrian struck by a vehicle. Both investigations were ongoing. The scene was cleared and lanes reopened around 6:45 a.m., according to Georgia Department of Transportation.
The Atlanta Falcons are in the process of hiring a new head coach and general manager, but that doesn’t mean the team is completely cleaning house. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has done an incredible job with the Falcons defense since replacing Jimmy Lake in the offseason.
The Falcons would prefer to keep Ulbrich, as team owner Arthur Blank stated, but the new head coach will have the final say. According to a report from ESPN’s Todd Archer, Atlanta blocked the Dallas Cowboys’ request to interview Ulbrich on Thursday.
“The Cowboys were denied by Atlanta to talk with Jeff Ulbrich for DC job, according to sources,” wrote Archer. “He remains under contract [with] the Falcons despite their search for a head coach. A potential interview can be revisited later if they hire a [head coach], who has a different coordinator in mind.”
Blank discussed Ulbrich’s impact during his Thursday press conference and said he was impressed with the work he did with the team’s rookie draft class. James Pearce Jr. led all rookies in sacks with 10.5 this season, while third-round pick Xavier Watts racked up a rookie-high five interceptions as the team’s starting safety.
“You can’t dictate to the new head coach who their coordinators would be, but I’d certainly recommend to the new head coach to consider Ulbrich,” Blank said of the Falcons’ current defensive coordinator.
It sounds like the Falcons aren’t going to let Ulbrich out of their sights, and it’s hard to blame them. The Falcons defensive coordinator helped the team record a franchise-record 57 sacks this season, just one year after finishing 31st in the NFL with just 31 sacks.

It hasn’t been easy the past few years to be an office landlord.
Many tenants shrunk their workspaces coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning buildings that lost rental revenue also lost value. Interest rates surged. Many banks got gun shy over having too much money lent to office tower owners, and a whole lot of loans have been coming due.
