Personal

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.

Zach Pace

Manager. Sonoma Stompers

Patrick is a quality baseball player and a great person. I had the privilege of coaching Patrick on the Sonoma Stompers in the summer for multiple years. His attitude and effort daily was a pleasure to have around. I had Patrick as a pitcher only and he was one of better guys, starting multiple big games and playoff games. Patrick is very knowledgeable in the game of baseball. His character is outstanding and Patrick will be a great mentor and teammate to others. Patrick will be successful with whatever he chooses to do in the future.

Dave Hoch

Assistant Coach, Sonoma Stompers
ddhoch7@gmail.com

I've known and coached Pat since he was 13. Was lucky enough to have him from youth baseball, three years in highschool, Sonoma State and then two summers with the Sonoma Stompers. His work ethic, baseball IQ combined with his ability and competitiveness made him special. Not only a solid player but always a great teammate. I'm a retired business owner. He's the type of person I would hire in a heartbeat. I couldn't think of a young person that I would recommend more than Patrick

Eamon Velarde

Teammate, University of Hawaii at Hilo

I played with Patrick at UH Hilo for my last 2 seasons of college in 2023 and 2024. He is a great teammate and always willing to put in the extra work to get better. Pat was a walk on and I remember being very impressed the first day he showed up throwing 87-88 with a hammer breaking ball, and he earned a spot on the team just from that showing. He always has a good attitude and even when he isn’t in the game he is a great dugout energy guy that keeps teammates loose and relaxed. He has good baseball IQ and he deals well with kids, so I imagine he would be good for youth camps as well. Pat is a competitor and I believe he would be a great pickup for any squad that gives him a chance.
