Personal Statement

Since I was at a young age, I have dreamed of playing at the collegiate level. I understand that being able to play baseball in college is a once in a lifetime dream.

I am a team player, along with being a role model for my teammates, by leading by example. I am a hard worker in the classroom and on the playing field, as well. I am a very coachable player and always try to be the hardest working player on the team. In the classroom, I study the best I possibly can and I hold myself to a high standard to maintain a high GPA.

Outside of school and baseball, I give back to the community by volunteering my time at the nursing home, children's lunch programs and teaching younger kids at summer baseball camps.

Southern Ohio Prospect Games-Top Performer report: https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/OH/Southern-Ohio-Prospect-Games---Top-Performers-9617504328 Starts in a balanced set up at the plate prior to getting into a knee pinch load with lower half. Hands move slightly back before firing the bat through the zone on a slightly uphill path. Swing shows both strength and speed with a bit more present strength. In the outfield he projects as a corner type. Plays fast with adequate ball skills. Arm is loose with slinging action, showing signs of more strength to come. Also worked out at first base. Gets off the bag well and he gets rid of it quickly on double play balls. Ball skills are above average at the first base position. Two-way prospect. On the bump the southpaw uses smooth tempo prior to speeding up on the descent of his leg lift. Displayed the same loose, slinging arm action on the hill he did in the outfield. Fastball comes out well sitting 75-78 mph and could have a bit more left in the tank. Changeup was a well above average offering, coming in at 72-73 mph. Tossed the offering with confidence and feel. Also spun a 1/7 shaped breaking ball with gradual action at 63-64 mph. Home to 1st: 4.65 Infield Velocity: 75 Outfield Velocity: 81 Exit Velocity: 82
