Personal
I have electric stuff when it comes to pitching. My fastball tops at 95.6 and sits 90-93. I throw a changeup that averages negative vertical break at 80-84, and a sweeper that sits at 79-82. I am able to land either off-speed in any count.
I am a pitcher only
As a teammate I see myself as a lead by example guy. No matter the ups or downs of a season you will always find me working hard and taking the extra time and reps to get better and progress. During games I am able to keep the dugout loose and keep guys comfortable and energy up.
Career highlights
My career highlights include being a starting pitcher in the Northwoods League, playing professionally for the Gastonia Ghost Peppers of the Atlantic League in 2025 and most recently the Lexington Legends of the Atlantic League this season in 2026
Coaching
While in the off season I train pitchers in person and remotely through my training company. I break down their mechanics and inefficiencies within their lifting and pitching and help them gain velocity/ command/ and mindset.
Overseas Goals
First and foremost I want to help my team win and compete at the highest level possible. My personal goals for playing overseas is to keep myself in pitching shape for my main professional season in America.
Current Fitness Level
I am currently playing professional ball in the United States and starting once a week going at least 5-7 innings per start. I am also lifting 4 times a week and running twice a week.
