I love playing sports and plan to play baseball at the next level. I'm currently ranked as a "High Follow" by Perfect game as a 2-way player (RHP/3B/1B) bringing a strong arm, bat, and infield glove to the game. When you see me play, look for the guy with dirtiest uniform - that's likely me (despite my Mom's best efforts!).
I'm just as serious about school, and I'm a very hard worker in the classroom with the desire to go to a strong academic university which also has a competitive baseball program. I’m a National Honor Society student on an honors and AP track. I'm curious about lots of topics but have an interest in business, economics, commercial real estate or history. When not not playing sports, I’m hunting or fishing or hanging with my friends and family.
Thank you. James
