Personal
For much of my career, I have been in the bullpen but have recently made the transition into being a starting pitcher. I am comfortable in either role. I have the ability to create action early in counts as well as find swings and misses in zone and with chase pitches.
Since being in the Pecos league (there is no Designated Hitter) I had to hit for myself. I am able to handle the bat pretty well for a pitcher, in limited at-bats I posted a .200 average and an on-base of .350.
Every single day I find a way to bring the energy to the stadium. I love being at the park and being with my teammates. I have expansive knowledge covering the science of pitching (pitch metrics, data analytics, creating and explaining scouting reports, biomechanics, and pitching mechanics, among many more facets) and I love to share them with the players around me to not only help them develop as players but to help myself develop a better understanding of things.
Career highlights
2024 Drafted to the Joliet Slammers of the Frontier League (Frontier League Draft Camp)
2024 Pecos League All-Star for the Roswell Invaders. Led the Invaders in innings pitched and strikeouts.
MEC All-Academic Team 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023
Coaching
I have experience in youth player development and college player development. I am a pitching trainer at the Baseball Dojo in Clarksburg WV, and I previously held a position at Fairmont State University as the Pitching Operations Manager.
I am well-versed in pitching mechanics, biomechanics, pitch metrics, data analytics, pitch design, and velocity training.
Overseas Goals
Continuing to play the game that I love is my primary goal in going overseas, but I also wish to have a hand in expanding the game and creating opportunities for baseball to flourish all over the world. I also want to expand my knowledge base by meeting other players and coaches from around the world. In turn, I would like you I use my current knowledge to share information with the people I meet
