2015 Highlights #2
2015 Game HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a ball player. My goal is to play meaningful baseball at the highest level that my skill, hard work, opportunity and God’s blessings allow. I am currently #1 in my class with a GPA of 5.46 (4.0 on a 4.0 scale) and I aspire to be the Valedictorian of my 2017 graduating class.
I attend Columbus High School in Columbus, Texas (4A). I played on the Varsity baseball team as a Sophomore (2015), working my way into the starting lineup by the start of Playoffs and played 6 positions. As a Junior in 2016, I started every game playing CF and P and earned honors for 1st Team All-District OF, Team Captain, All-Tourney and Academic All-District. I have played select / travel baseball since I was 7 years old and played in the Cal Ripken 12u World Series in Aberdeen, MD representing the Southwest Regional Champions. I currently play for Marucci Houston (2014, 2015, 2016) primarily as a Pitcher, Outfielder or DH but have played every position except Catcher for Marucci under the Coaching direction of former MLB players Kevin Witt, Jose Cruz Jr., Chris Sampson, JR Towles, Andy Pettite, Adam Dunn and Pitching instructor David Evans, earning All-Tournament Team honors in 2016 at the Perfect Game 17U WWBA National Championship in Atlanta, GA.
I will always represent myself, my family, and my community with dignity, honor and respect and will be an admirable representative for my baseball team and school.
