Personal Statement
My goal is to play competitive baseball at the college level while attending a great school. I have played baseball while concentrating on the catching position for many years.

I have great blocking skills, framing skills, as well as have the ability to keep runners from advancing on the bases. Last season as a sophomore, I was the starting catcher for the VARSITY team. My batting average was .333. As a freshman, I was the starting catcher for the Sophomore team. During that season my batting average was .456. This summer I played with the summer ball team for Lake Park HS under Dan Colucci. This season as a Junior, I will be the starting catcher on Varsity. As a return Varsity catcher, I plan to continue to concentrate on my catching skills, as well as hitting skills. I plan to continue to be a leader on the team as well.
