When Season 19 of America’s Got Talent (AGT) debuted, Devan “Baby Dev” Defreitas was just 2 years old, making him the youngest participant in the show’s history. Duane, the toddler arithmetic prodigy, amazed the judges and audience with his amazing numerical skills while accompanied by his father.
Baby Dev easily multiplied and added numbers while solving difficult mathematics on a whiteboard during his audition. Simon Cowell joked that they all required a calculator because of what fast and accurate he was.
Baby Dev’s fascination with numbers began at a young age; according to his father, he was enthralled with math-based television programs at the age of four months and would cry when the numbers vanished. He started writing numbers by himself by the time he was 15 months old. Since then, social media has seen a huge increase in awareness of his gift, with viral videos demonstrating his extraordinary skills.
Baby Dev advances in the tournament after receiving four “yes” votes from the judges, leaving viewers curious to see what he will accomplish next. In addition to showcasing his genius, his act demonstrated the value of developing young potential.
