Personal
Pitching: I am a submarine pitcher who comes into relief for however long you need me.
Pitches and velos; Sinker: 79-82, Slider: 69-72, 4-seam: 79-82, Knuckleball: 60.
Hitting: I am a lefty hitter who can be put in any part of the lineup. I have been batting in the 4 spot in college because I can hit line drives through the outfield and still have a situational approach to the game. I do whatever it takes to get the job done as you can see with my stats out of 150 at bats, I was able to drive in 50 plus RBIs and still generate hits for my own when it was time for me to start or keep momentum.
Speed: I am above average speed with really good first instinct. I am aggressive in the outfield and will push for extra bases when at the plate.
Velo: Outfield: 90-92, 1st: 84-86, 2nd: 84-86
Exit Velo: The hardest I ever had recorded in a game was 102 mph (wood bat)
As a player I know that opportunities are not promises, but given any opportunity presented to me I promise I will get the job done no matter what it takes that is the main skill set I bring. I will do anything to win
Pitching has been going great lately, really comfortable on the mound in any situation. 1st base and 2nd base have been extremely rare occurrences in college, only because I play outfield each and every game. Although I do not stop working on it only because the opportunity that can come from knowing other spots.
I am the teammate who will be there no matter what for each guy who wears the same jersey as me or is a part of the same organization as me too. I treat any with respect not only because it is right but because I do not know everything. I will always be open to criticism and open to helping anyone with anything. Baseball brings out the best in me, I love seeing my teammates do good even if they are in the same position and I will always keep my teammates up in good spirits because I know not one person tries to fail in this game, but I know how hard one can get on themself from time to time so being there for the good and bad is one thing I try to do each and every day for my teammates.

Coaching
As a player I know what I look for in a coach. I try to be clear as possible on what it is I am trying to teach and also be able to demonstrate myself on what I am trying to teach. I believe the mental game is the hugest part of baseball and that is what I will be implementing with the physical aspect. What I mean by all of this is just because you are doing good let’s dig deep on why, such as what was your thought process, or what did you feel, or even if it is bad what felt off. To make someone grow they need to understand the feedback we say, and we are to help in any way possible to fix any minor or major problem presented by a player.
Overseas Goals
I want to play overseas so I can challenge myself by stepping out of my comfort zone and making my dream of being a professional baseball player come true. While also exploring the world through baseball.
I have been competing all year round and for the few off-seasons I have, I make sure to keep developing in all aspects of my game.
