Royals prospect Brady Singer pays off parents' debt for Christmas image

Brady Singer used his newfound pro status to spread some holiday cheer.

The Royals prospect surprised his family with the ultimate gift on Christmas Day by revealing in a heartfelt letter to his parents, Brett and Jacquelyn, that he had paid off all their debt.

Singer posted a video of the emotional surprise on Twitter and it quickly went viral.

Grab your tissues and take a look:

"Dear Mom and Dad, I just want to say 'Thank you' for everything you've done to help me reach my dreams," Singer wrote in the letter. "There's absolutely no way I could have done all this by myself. Both of you constantly took off of work and spent every dime you made just to put a smile on my face. My smile and appreciation for both of you has never stopped and it never will."

Singer, 22, was selected by the Royals out of the University of Florida with the 18th overall pick of the 2018 MLB Draft. He received a $4.25 million contract, a franchise record for a pitcher.

"Now, instead of trying to save money every weekend to replace the savings account you drained on traveling to see me play baseball, you can spend it on yourselves, because you deserve the very best," the letter said. "I want you both to know how much I appreciate you and how none of this would be possible without you."

There's no question Singer put the hard-earned money to good use.
