Personal
I am a pitcher throwing at a speed of 89-91 mph.
I am a power hitter, but with little contact, it is just a matter of adapting and improving every day. I have flexibility, and I like to play active baseball. As a pitcher, I always try to keep runners off the bases and stay calm.
I am a vocal leader, I always try to keep the team calm and with a good vibe, I like to help my teammates make adjustments and improve both on and off the field.
Career highlights
- 3 shutouts without a hit.
- Venezuelan Double-A champion 2021, top 5 pitcher.
Training
I am always training, sometimes on weekends I see hitters. When I’m not playing baseball, I work as a personal trainer. I get up at 4 a.m. to have breakfast and go out to train. Then at 6 a.m. I start working. If there’s time, it’s just a matter of sacrifice.
Overseas Goals
Building statistics abroad will help me continue to increase my baseball level and opportunities, and learn other cultures.

Entrenamiento
Aparte de jugar, busco trabajar para ganar dinero extra.
Entreno explosividad pero inteligencia.
Metas en el exterior
Construir estadísticas en el extranjero me ayudará a seguir aumentando mi nivel de béisbol y oportunidades, y aprender otras culturas.
Siempre estoy entrenando, a veces los fines de semana veo bateadores. Cuando no estoy jugando béisbol, trabajo como entrenador personal, me levanto a las 4 am para desayunar y salir a entrenar. Luego a las 6 empiezo a trabajar, si hay tiempo es solo cuestión de sacrificio.
