2017 Game HighlightsPersonal Statement
I'm looking for a college that suits be both academically and on the baseball field. This doesn't just mean that it is an easy fit because I want to be challenged in college. I hope to contend for a spot my freshman year and am willing to spend countless hours developing and refining my game. Hard work is something I take tremendous pride in, and I represent that in everything I do whether its on the field, in the weight room, or in the classroom. I consider myself a natural and quiet leader. I don't necessarily lead by speaking out but rather with my play on the field and my actions off of the field. However, I'm still able to hold myself and my teammates accountable. At the end of the day, I'm someone that is going to consistently show up and put my best effort forward everyday regardless of the circumstance.
