Signed 2026/27 Summer in Australia
I bring a competitive mindset and a strong pitch mix to the mound. I currently throw a 4-seam fastball (sits 85–87 mph, tops at 90), a sharp slurve (68–72 mph) with late break that keeps hitters off balance. I also have a changeup (76–80 mph) that complements my fastball. My off-speed pitches produce a lot of swing and misses. I locate well on both sides of the plate and work quickly and efficiently. Being both a starter and relief pitcher, I am able to handle most situations, from high leverage, late inning outings to going 7 innings strong as a starter. I pride myself on staying calm and composed on the mound, even in high-pressure situations. I don’t let the moment get too big.
I played shortstop and second base throughout high school as well as with my club in Australia and in the Netherlands, so I have a solid foundation in the infield. Those instincts and fundamentals are still there. I’ve always taken pride in being athletic and versatile, and I’m confident I can field 2B/SS
I’m the type of player who’s willing to do whatever the team needs, and if that means stepping into a secondary position, I’ll put in the work to be ready and reliable.
I’m more of a lead-by-example type of teammate than a vocal leader. I bring a steady presence, stay locked in, and handle myself with integrity. I’m always willing to help a teammate out, especially if I can offer a fresh perspective or work through something with them. Not only do I enjoy helping my teammates to be the best they can be, I also know that I can trust them as well to help me out when I’m struggling.
For me, being a good teammate goes beyond the field. I’ve built some lifelong friendships through baseball, and I know how important it is to create strong, positive relationships with the team. Whether it’s keeping things relaxed during a long stretch of games or simply being someone guys can count on, I try to bring good energy and make the environment better for everyone around me.
Career highlights
While I may not have a long list of awards or accolades, my journey has been defined by perseverance and the ability to rise through adversity. I’ve navigated some significant challenges. My college career had some ups and downs, but being a D2 college walk on, overall I was able to work my way into starting and relief pitching roles, and progress my skills as a pitcher. I have earned starting roles with the Sonoma Stompers of the CCL, as well as the Bay Area Latin League Aguilas. With the Aguilas, I ended with a 2.7 ERA. I won League MVP of the division 2 Victoria State League with a 2.37 ERA through 70 innings totaling 123 strikeouts, as well as a .426 batting average. Most recently, I pitched for the RCH Pinguins in the Honkbal Hofdklasse, tallying 45 innings pitched, with 60 strikeouts and a 2.20 ERA.
Overseas Goals
I want to take my baseball career overseas because I’m passionate about both the game and the opportunity to experience new cultures—something I really embraced while playing at the University of Hawaii. I feel like I didn’t get the full chance to prove myself at the college level due to the unique pathway I took, and I’m motivated to keep pushing and show what I can do.
Baseball has been my life, and I want to keep my career going as long as possible while traveling the world. Playing overseas seems like a great way to grow not just as a player, but as a person through learning from different styles of play and helping to expand the sport globally. It’s exciting to combine my love for the game with the adventure of exploring new places and cultures.
I have competed with the Sonoma Stompers of the California Collegiate Summer League as well as the Napa Aguilas in the Bay Area Latin League. In the past year I have competed with the Ormond Glenhuntly Baseball Club in Australia, and the RCH Pinguins in The Netherlands.
