Personal Statement

I started playing USSSA baseball four years before high school on two major teams which include the NEA Indians out of Jonesboro, Arkansas in 2008 and for the Knights out of Hernando, Mississippi in 2009-2010. I was the #1 starting pitcher as a freshman for Gosnell's High School team. When I was not pitching, I beat out senior starter at shortstop. I have a great work ethic. I am 6'1" 205 lbs. I turned 16 on May 28 of 2011. I played USSSA in the summer of 2010 for the Knights out of Hernando, Mississippi. I started evry game at my main position, 3rd base, but was the #1 pitcher also. I hit for power and average, while having a very high fielding percentage. I also was named the team captain. We ended our season 3rd in the nation in the major division. My desired major that I would like to pursue in college would be education/coaching. Completed my junior year after playing summer showcase bb for the Arkansas Express 16 and under Premier team and fall baseball. This team is made up of players considered to have D1 potential. The Arkansas Express Premier 16's won both the Keith Hagen Memorial Classic in Memphis Tn and the World Series Fayetteville Ar. Being a starter on this highly competitive team has increased both my desire for baseball and my skill level. The Express won several other tournaments played this summer at many venues for top quality baseball( UCA Conway, Fayetteville Ar, Springfield Mo, Little Rock Ar ). . My schedules may always found on this site or you may email me and will send one . I  rested  my arm until mid-December., I am lifting with concentration on my lower body. I resumed throwing mid-Dec, long toss to get my arm back in shape.  I have now begun to throw off of the mound with a pitch count until i am ready to go. I will increase my velocity to the 90's I know by my senior year if not sooner. I already have a number of off speed pitches that will be more effective with a higher velocity. Good command of all my pitches. If you are looking for a great player I will be that person. I have played in many large stadiums and I am not intimidated by large crowds. I handle pressure very well. I want to play at the highest competitive level in college as possiblle. . I would like to play at the next level with a school that both wants and needs me. 

Played summer baseball with the Arkansas Express Premiere 17 team, all 2013 grads playing tournaments in Mem, Tn; Fayetteville Ar ; Conway Ar; Stillwater Ok; Norman Ok; and Neosho Mo; and Jonesboro Ar. 

Made the NTIS Olympic Combine in St. Louis Mo. Event had over 100 players from Ar, Mo, Ne, St Louis.

Now taking visits to schools and training, lifting weights in prepration for my senior year. Also prepping for ACT to increase my score.

Also playing fall baseball on a limited basis for the Arkansas Express. Schedules can be accessed on this site.

Will be entering my Senior season of high school baseball in 2012
