Personal Statement

I am determined to succeed. I wake up early and work hard in the gym to better my strength and speed. I try to be in the cage daily, and play enough long toss to build arm strength. I love the game of baseball and love the process involved in getting better. My team comes before any individual.

I believe I am the strongest prospect in the 2024 class and have worked hard to become one of the fastest catchers in the class. I will not be outworked.

I'm a Christian and my integrity is important to me.
