Personal
I am a gap to gap, line drive hitter. A sure handed infielder with good range, great instincts and a + arm.
I also have experience at 2B and 3B, at both amateur and professional levels.
I also have extensive coaching experience. I have coached youth teams for the last three years, all ages 8-14 and done private lessons from ages 7-18. With my players I focus on effort, a good attitude, fundamentals, playing the game the right way and having fun.
I like to come in on off days to hit and do infield work. I am always the first one to the ballpark, the last one to leave, and help my teammates whenever possible. In my travels I also want to learn about other people and my teammates outside of baseball, their cultures, and who they are as people. I want us to learn from each other.
Outside of baseball I enjoy fitness, reading, watching sports, traveling, and being around people. I am a classic extrovert.
Career highlights
Ranked 11th at MLB Breakthrough Series. 2022 South Florida Collegiate Baseball League All-Star. 2024 New York Boulder and Bakersfield Train Robber. 2025 MLB Draft League (WV Black Bears)
Overseas Goals
My main goal is to further my baseball career in any way possible. Playing overseas has always been a dream of mine ever since my family friend told me about his experiences playing professional sports overseas. As an added bonus, I want to experience countries and cultures outside of the United States, and help grow baseball as a global game.
