Personal Statement
**During our regional final game in 2023 I tore my UCL from the bone. I underwent reconstructive UCL repair on July 3rd, 2023. The past 7 months have taught me more than I could have ever imagined. I was always a dedicated and hardworking guy, but this injury jumped me to a whole new level of digging deep and working hard. Physically, mentally and emotionally my life changed forever but for the good. In the latest video uploaded was my first pitch from the bump. It feels amazing. My technique and overall body/core motions are so much stronger. My pitching coach has been amazing and I wouldn't be where I am along this road without him. Moving onward and upward along this journey. We haven't put a gun on me yet since I am not throwing 100% strength, but my pitching coach expects me to be faster than before the injury. I say all of this in my personal statement to be upfront and honest but to also say...don't count me out, I will be back stronger and better!**
Ever since I was able to pick up a bat and a ball, I have had a love for the game of baseball. I will always be the hardest working person on the field. I am a 6'3" 190lb SS and RHP from Laingsburg High school in Michigan. I am a 3 sport athlete and train on strength and conditioning 3 times a week. I lead by example on of my sports teams and am a great teammate.
