Personal
I feel like I’m just a very versatile pitcher, who can fulfill all roles on a pitching staff at a very high level. However, I do prefer a starting role. I’m constantly working to make adjustments and have recently been throwing the hardest I’ve been since my rookie year. I was recently in spring training with a Mexican minor league and sat 89-93 with a T94. I have also had 3 years of European experience(2022,2023, & 2025) with 2 of them being in 1st leagues. I have really good secondaries and can keep hitters off balance. I constantly want to learn something new and do everything for the team. I STILL AM THE LOW 90s GUY AS ADVERTISED. When I had the elbow tweak, I rehabbed like no tomorrow to where I’m back to normal. I AM FULLY HEALTHY NOW. I was back up to at least 90 with the Schwechat Blue Bats. In bullpens as of recently I’ve been sitting 86-88 with minimal adrenaline. You’ll be able to see that in my latest film.
I now have 7 years of professional experience while facing some of the best hitters in the world outside of MLB and getting them out. Hitters I have faced are actively in the highest levels of Independent Ball (Atlantic, Frontier, Pioneer league, American Association), NPB, and Liga Mexicana de Beisbol. I am ready for the highest levels of baseball and have a high level understanding of the game within the game. I am here to pass my knowledge forward as a PLAYER FIRST and then as a coach. I also am experienced in obtaining visas for however long I am needed.
I come with an open mind and open heart. I’m very loose and can bring the energy once I’m on that field. I also love helping out my teammates whether it’s with improving pitching mechanics issues, pitch grips, or catching in the pen, I’ll even front toss for my hitters. I also won’t let my performance affect the energy and backing of my guys. Just a huge team guy here. Along with the other traits that I have to offer, I really have learned to be resilient. The past two years I’ve played for teams that where business decisions were made whether I’ve had good or bad performance, I’ve been on the short end of the stick. I feel really helps in what I bring to the table. With all that being said, I’m looking for very high level competition. I’m also strictly looking for spring/summer opportunities. I am also not willing to pay for flights, every one of my contracts that I have signed in the past 4 seasons all included my flights. Willing to negotiate other parts of the contract but FLIGHTS IS A MUST.
Career highlights
I’ve been a part of 3 consecutive playoff runs for my team and winning a championship in 2021 for the Mavericks league playing under Daniel Robertson (former big leaguer and current bench coach in the Cleveland Guardians org).
Coaching
I’ve coached several different youth travel organizations. I have learned a lot from fellow coaches! As my own business has grown in training pitchers, I have seen vast improvements in all my clients. For example, I have one client that I helped gain 8 mph in velocity in six weeks of working with him. I feel like what I have to teach is very valuable and guarantees results. Not only do I believe in my training for the kids or for others, but I do it myself. I wouldn’t have anyone else doing something that I wouldn’t do. I love nothing more than the opportunity to spread my knowledge. The main thing is that I have seen results in those that I’ve helped train. I would love to see the results that I can produce spreading more knowledge to whom ever else will have me.
Overseas Goals
Now that I have 4 years of competing overseas, I love being able to see how the game is played around the world! Loose environments are where I thrive the most. If there’s anything that I feel is vital to team success, it’s a team that plays the game the right way in all aspects(hitting, defense, and pitching). I’d like to be part of a team that takes pride in their play and fights till the end of every game. Whoever decides to give me an opportunity, You will get everything I have!! No matter how long I’ve been playing there’s always something to prove, having a chance to contribute to another championship would be a huge privilege as I know what it takes to win.
I’ve been playing in games all off-season, very fortunate for that in Southern California. In these games and film, I’m competing against some of the best free agents in the US all off-season from MLB affiliates to independent leagues. It keeps me sharp, so I specifically put game film from these off-season games so that clubs can see everything. Because of the good weather I am in midseason form, and come completely in shape and ready to go deep in games. my goal is to go as deep as possible into every game I pitch my team the best chance to win!
Playing Experience
Coaching Experience
| YEAR | ROLE | ORGANIZATION | LEAGUE/DIVISION | DETAILS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Pitching Coach | Canes San Bernardino Baseball | Youth | I help with warm ups, throwing programs, mechanics, arm care and conditioning. |
| 2023-present | Pitching trainer | Manifest Destiny Pitching | Youth-Pro | I started my own training business for pitchers in late 2023. I thought it would be great to get back to the game of baseball and make a business out of it as well. I have various clients from youth to pro guys. I know my training works because I do it myself and I have seen tremendous results not only for myself, but for my clients. I would love to pass on knowledge of what I have learned in all my years of training up to recently. My goal is to never stop learning, and to serve others. |
| 2025 | Pitching Coach | WN Diving Ducks | BBL 1, Youth | I had lots of responsibilities here. Not only was I a pitcher, but our 1st teams pitching coach. I also worked with U12 and U14. On our first team I helped Several pitchers gain velocity in the numbers of 3-4 mph. A few of those threw the hardest they ever had in their life. So I felt proud I was doing something right. Even some of the kids who never had anyone teach them made such great progress. There were kids who had no idea of how to even throw a ball. I enjoyed that challenge and seeing them significantly improve. Again, the team and I parted ways on good terms and I truly hope they are currently making great strides with improvements even if it wasn’t with me working with them. |
