Personal

Jamie is a left-handed hitter who makes consistent contact and is good at driving the ball to the opposite field.  He can work pitchers for walks and is an adept bunter.   He is an aggressive baserunner who always looks for opportunities to steal or take the extra base.

 

He is a great defensive outfielder, with speed to run down balls hit into the gaps and good ball-tracking ability.  He has primarily been a centerfielder , but he can play both left and right as well.

 

Jamie plays with a lot of passion and brings much energy and a positive outlook to a team.  He puts as much effort into practices as games and is always looking for ways to improve.  He is a leader by example and has been team captain in both high school and college.

 

He continues to work out and train regularly, so he is ready for any opportunity.
