It has been my ambition to work every single day to become the best academic student I can be while at the same time aspiring to be the best baseball player possible. I plan on attending college while working to achieve my ultimate dream of playing Major League Baseball.
My goal collegiately is to receive the highest education possible while playing at the highest level of baseball in country. I trust in my Christian faith and that God has a plan for my life. I plan on “breaking the mold” of the average student athlete and achieving the highest level of athletics while pursuing my interest academically but doing so with integrity and character.
I have extreme interest in learning and innovation academically and intend to patent my first invention within the coming year. Athletically, I use plyometrics and weight training to condition outside of baseball, some of my workouts can be seen on plyometrics_llc on Facebook and Instagram.
Training has become a hobby of mine that I enjoy and ties in beautifully with preparing me for baseball. I also am involved with community organizations at my school which promote leadership. Leadership is a key quality that I believe is the cornerstone of any team, business, or organization. Baseball is a part of my life and I work everyday to improve myself as a person and as an athlete.
