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.
