Personal
“A 6’6”, 205lbs. athlete who happens to have chosen baseball instead of basketball or football to pursue in college. Started right away as a freshman for West Virginia University at multiple positions, main one being second base. Having played numerous college career games and seasons he has played very good competition and at a very high level. Recently, due to some very tragic and unfortunate circumstances regarding his family matters this early Spring through Summer of 2019 Isac wasn’t able to accept any of the multiple invitations to play professionally overseas for the Spring/Summer. As well as an opportunity at a Spring Training minor league roster spot for the Houston Astros. Although still in everyday playing shape right now he is a very fine-tuned, polished professional with all 5 skill sets. Plays SS but also used as a utility at any position on the field other than catcher. Started at all 4 infield positions throughout playing career as well as CF. Has tremendous base-stealing instincts with above-average speed, above-average power, and arm strength. With the right situation, this kid could be something really special. Currently desperate to get a shot in the ABL this winter, all this kid needs is to be seen. A special “all-natural” talent. We have numerous references and referrals from baseball minds all over the world. One former scout in particular who he trains excessively with on a day to day basis from MLB’s the Texas Rangers organization. Isac is truly a professional in and out who has an incredible story to tell. He’s a well-rounded leader and role model for younger kids playing. One who leads by example especially off of the field. With a year of working youth baseball academies around the world and youth coaching experience in the US for many years. This is a man of character and respect who could help expand youth baseball for any country for years to come. He is very open and looking for the opportunity for a multiple year contract by not only playing and helping you win but also by developing your youth baseball for as long as he’s needed!”

Abilities summary: All-around athlete, 5 tool player with the ability to hit to all fields and steal bases. Leadoff hitter but can hit anywhere in a lineup. Running a 6.58 sec. 60yrd dash. Throws 90+ across the diamond and above-average power and slugging. A natural talent
