My greatest strength has always been my strike throwing ability. Limiting free bases and having efficient innings is a big part of my game.
I was an accomplished high school hitter and infielder. I earned our high schools “Silver Slugger” award while batting at a .400 clip my junior season. I was also an Honorable Mention All-League selection at first base. I played mainly first, with some third and corner outfield mixed in. While I didn’t hit in college, I can consistently hit the ball with upwards of 100mph exit velocity and can easily hit home runs in batting practice at our college park.
I am a lead by example player. I am a consistent, dedicated worker and hold those around me to a high standard. I often talk with younger players when they are struggling about the mental and physical struggles of high level baseball. I am also a nerd about anything pitching related and love to help with training and mechanics related questions.
Career highlights
High School:
– Marin County Athletic League Pitcher of the Year (70 innings, .7 ERA)
College:
– Competed at the D1 level with and against MLB draft picks each week
– Led USF in appearances in 2025 (22)
– More than 70 D1 innings
– Scoreless outings against Power 4 teams such as Oregon, Cal Berkeley, and Washington State
Coaching
I am experienced working with children of all ages, and bring a wealth of knowledge from my baseball experience as well as academically. I have a degree in Kinesiology, and am also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA. On top of my ability to work with youth, I am qualified through my degree and CSCS to create strength training programs for high level athletes as well.
Overseas Goals
I want to take my career overseas for the incredible new experiences and to keep playing the game I love. Helping to spread baseball to new countries, while still being able to compete and work on my own game is an awesome opportunity. I am a young player that still has room to grow, and the unique experience that playing and living in a new country gives will allow me to grow as a person and ballplayer.
