Personal Statement

I would say I'm a versatile player whose primary position is catcher but can support a team at middle infield and outfield.  Effective utility player.  I've been described as a 'spark plug' whose energy can change the game; a strong team leader who brings significant energy and does not give up even if I'm behind in the count or my team is behind.  I can change the momentum in a game quickly.  I can read my pitchers, keep them calm and focused and direct the field with confidence.   As a hitter, I'm a line drive hitter with home run power. I have a high OBP and am comfortable exerting pressure as a base runner.  My coaches would say I am very  coach-able and I have had specific training on how to train and practice on my own.  When I was younger, I earned hitting and cage privileges by volunteering at baseball camps for young players and catching during pitching instruction.  I was fortunate enough to be a founding participant of YMSL Buckhead (Atlanta), a leadership development and philanthropic organization and the founder of Camp Wild Wesley (sports and games summer camp for kids ages 4-9).  While at North Atlanta High School, I was a member of the Beta Club, played Varsity football as a sophomore and was the FCA class representative for the class of 2023, my sophomore year.  I was nominated for National Leadership Development programs by my school counselor at Woodward Academy in the 7th grade.  Certainly a highlight of my early career was being a member a of the East Cobb Tigers team when they won Cooperstown (12).   Currently I'm attending IMG Academy as a boarding student in Bradenton, Florida.
