Personal
Playing collegiate baseball helped me to develop into the confident and efficient pitcher I am today. Highlights during my time at Wilfrid Laurier University included, wining back-to-back OUA Championships, 2018/2019, receiving three consecutive Ultimate Team Player Awards, acting co-captain in my final three seasons, and a member of the All-Decade Team.
I have represented Great Brain at the senior and U23 level, most recently starting in this past European Championships held in the Czech Republic. Previously, I have played in the IBL (Inter-County Baseball League) and most recently, the German Bundesliga. I am a ground ball pitcher with a good 2/4-seam fastball, change up, curveball slider cutter combination who consistently fills up the zone
Baseball is my number one priority and focus throughout the year. In 2022, I am looking for an opportunity to play high level pro baseball in Europe, and to put myself in the best situation to continue to develop, compete and chase titles. I also have experience coaching youth baseball players, ages 6 to 20. My future aspirations are to compete and give back to the sport that has given so much to me.
