2019 HighlightsPersonal Statement
The first year I played baseball I was three years old, since that first game, I knew I wanted to play baseball. As I have grown older I have learned to play baseball at a high level. I have played on an AAU Baseball team since I was ten and have learned about the talent that exists out there and the hard work that is necessary to be successful. Through my hard work, commitment and determination, I want to help any team and their players excel on the field. Another big part of my life is academics, and I strive for academic excellence. I love the challenge of putting in the work necessary to being an outstanding baseball player, student, and person. My goal is to be the best I can be on and off the field.
