Personal
I’m a pitcher who has a 4 pitch arsenal, and working on a 5th pitch this offseason. I have top 89 in college and in training top 94. During training I was sitting in the upper 80s and low 90s.
I can Start, relief and close in a game
As a teammate, I try to be someone who is dependable, competitive, and easy to work with. I understand that baseball is an individual game within a team environment, and even when I am not pitching, I believe it is important to support my teammates and contribute to the overall culture of the team.
I take coaching seriously and am always willing to listen and make adjustments. I also believe in holding myself accountable and continuing to work, especially when things are not going my way. I want my teammates and coaches to know that I will show up prepared, compete hard, and put the team’s success above individual recognition.
I also enjoy building relationships with teammates and learning from people with different backgrounds. Playing baseball has given me opportunities to meet and compete alongside many different types of people, and I believe that ability to connect and adapt would help me become a positive teammate in an overseas environment.

Career highlights
I’m able to pitch in any given situation. I’ve started relieved and closed games. given my college team didn’t win many games
Overseas Goals
I want to play overseas because I see it as an opportunity to continue my baseball career, compete at a high level, and challenge myself in a completely new environment. Baseball has been a major part of my life, and I am not ready for my journey in the game to end simply because my college career is over.
I am excited about the opportunity to earn my place with a team, contribute to winning, and continue developing as a pitcher. Playing overseas would also challenge me outside of baseball by allowing me to experience a new culture, build relationships with teammates from different backgrounds, and learn how to adapt in a new environment.
Most importantly, I am looking for an opportunity to compete. I believe I still have room to grow as a pitcher, and I am willing to put in the work necessary to improve. I would bring hunger, humility, and a strong desire to represent the organization well both on and off the field.
Current Fitness Level
I am working a fulltime job right now, and as soon as i get off work I’m heading straight to a field and gym to train for velo. I would like to top out at 95, and average 90
