Personal Statement

 I RS my first year at San Diego State and after my second year at school at San Diego, I transferred to Yavapai Community College, where I am currently a RS Sophomore at. I handle my business off the field as I had over a 3.o at SDSU and just completed my fall semester at Yavapai with a 4.0 and will leave after the Spring with my AS in Business.

I have gone through a lot of adversity so far in collegiate baseball, and I can honestly say it has made me a better player because of it. I know coming into another D1 program next fall I will immediately help the team both on the mound and in being an older guy with a lot of leadership and perspective. I can start, as well as pitch in high leverage situations out of the pen, but to me all that matters is having the ball when it matters most. 

No doubt, my goal and vision is more clear than ever- to play in the MLB, but I can't wait for my next school first.
