Tanya and Andy Saucedo gave birth to Saucedo on June 18, 1993, in Honolulu, Hawaii. His familial roots may be traced back to Spain and Guatemala, and he is of Mexican ethnicity.
Saucedo grew up in Hawaii, Japan, Seattle, and Texas because his father was a marine. Saucedo was first exposed to baseball while residing in Japan.
