Personal

At shortstop, I’m an athletic player with big range, strong throws and all the time focus on a game.
I don’t have my velo because I didn’t do that, but if it necessary I can send video with that.

For many years I play on shortstop in my club and the national team. I’m the starting shortstop for Poland and I feel strong in this position, but in the Polish league I have learned to play every position.
I can play 3B/2B, I played there many times and I feel okay there. In the European Winter League, I played SS and 2B.

I have experience playing in the outfield and am capable, but I prefer infield because infield for me is more interesting.

I’m the guy who always wants to win. I know it’s hard to always win but I help my teammates to know everything about pitchers and the opponents in order to be ready for them and win a game.

I am always on a field, I like to train and help people with building their own skills.
When people are determined and want to give 100% on a field, I want to play with them.

 

Career highlights

Only from my club (Ekstraliga Polish league)

 

Coaching

As an assistant I can help the coach with identifying what players do bad and what they do well, and give him and players some feedback.

 

Overseas Goals

I want to leave Poland so I can play with better players and train with better coaches with more experience. I want move my career to the next level and be the best Polish player, and this is why I need to go play somewhere else.
I want to challenge myself and show that I have the skills to go play in better leagues.
I want to promote baseball in Poland (what I do now) but also I need to go play more at a better level of baseball to help my National Team go for the next level in Europe.

Hubert is a very toolsy player with a great athletic built. Can hit with power and can really run. I project him out as a SS or center fielder. Great kid and would be a great addition to any team.

Hubert is a developing player with the talent and skill level in need of a more competitive baseball environment. His biggest talent that can play anywhere he goes is his speed. As a hitter, he has the raw talent deserving of opportunities that he would be overlooked for with a lack of playing experience from higher regarded areas. His contact rate is very high allowing him for some approach adjustment to be a hitter with more offensive efficiency. At our club, we use him as a shortstop because his range and fluidity playing the position is unparalleled in the entire country. If he were to find himself on a team with very developed infielders, he will likely be pushed to the outfield at least initially. His arm talent is good enough to stay at shortstop in more competitive environments and his throwing efficiency is continuing to increase. With his fielding he is still learning to play with the rhythm and smoothness confidently to be a high level shortstop but he has shown progress in this.

Hubert is determined to improve and reach the highest level in the game that he can. At our club we are very young so there isn't much 'iron' to sharpen 'iron.' If he has the right team to take him under their wings, it could go a long way for Hubert and the team that provides that for him. In two years of coaching him, I have continued to see progress so I have no reason to believe he has reached his peak.
