Personal
I am currently the captain of my college team and a .333 hitter over the past two seasons with gap to gap power and the ability to put the ball out. I recently completed a European trip with The North Baseball club and was able to compete against teams across Europe. I also played my travel ball in Ontario and across the United States.
At the college level I have started and played every inning of my career being the only player on the team to do so, while leading the team in every offensive category in the 2019 season. In 2018 I was awarded the Commitment to Excellence award by the schools Varsity community, and the following year I was named team MVP for the 2019 season
Abilities Summary: I am a very versatile player with the ability to play anywhere in the infield with a plus arm and I have the ability to hit for average with gap to gap power

We were fortunate to have Brandon join us for our 2019 North Baseball trip to Germany, the Czech Republic & Austria. Brandon provided some versatility for us and played well defensively throughout our time overseas. He has soft hands, an accurate arm and can hit up and down the lineup. He uses the whole field and came up with some clutch hits throughout our time in Europe. He takes his baseball commitments seriously and his love for the game is evident with how he prepares himself and how he carries himself on the field Brandon was well-liked by his teammates and had an amazing experience with us overseas last summer. He would be an asset to any team he plays on.
Brandon is a fantastic young man. He is talented, polished and humble. Mature well beyond his years, he carries himself like a true professional each time he shows up to the field. He takes care of his business on and off the field THE RIGHT WAY and is a great influence on all my guys. He is leader by example (Led our team in most categories).
