Personal
I am a switch-hitting catcher looking for a team for the 2024-25 season (Oct.-Mar.) after my 2024 summer season. This past summer (2023) I played for Billings in the Pioneer League and Santa Fe in the Pecos League (combined BA – .320). During the 2022 season I Played in the Pioneer Professional League (BA – .318), and in 2021 I played in the American Association and the Pecos Professional Baseball League (BA – .299). Catching is my primary position, but I can also play 1B, 2B and 3B, and will play wherever the team needs me. As a catcher, I love working with my pitchers, and most of my coaches have allowed me to call my own games. My defensive strengths include framing, blocking, and a strong arm. I’m an effective hitter from both sides of the plate, and my overall pro BA is .305. My professional experience has resulted in leadership skills that permit me to work closely with my pitchers and to be able to handle game challenges with an experienced eye. Controlling the running game is critical, not only with my arm, but also by contributing to infield strategies to contain that often-overlooked part of the game. I am willing to pay for my flights, and to work on the side to supplement my income if necessary. I have extensive experience working youth baseball camps, giving private lessons, helping coach high school ball, and have coached at the junior college level during the past three JUCO seasons. Any team that can use me on their roster will not regret it.
