Personal

A Two Way Player. All Outfield, and dominating relief Pitcher from the left side. I am a 33 year old that plays like a 21 year old. Young, athletic, and lot of energy. A speedy base stealer and game changer, gap to gap power, gold glove defensive skills, accuracy from outfield, quickness, exit velocity, .300 avg hitter.

Played first base and pitched in independent ball. Get outs and throw strikes. No walks. Play great defense and very athletic. Very versatile.

Lot of positive energy, always having fun playing the game, keep the dugout and locker room loose. Always hops in cage early, first in and last out of locker room. Love to help the guys in any way I can. Love to play the game and be around the guys.
