Personal

Top tier defensive catcher who forms tremendous relationships with the pitching staff through pitch calling and trust. Exceptional receiving, blocking and throwing. Additionally, I have hit for high average with some power at every level I’ve played in.

Played 1B in college as well. Can field adequately and have the arm strength to play third.

I bring energy and hard work every single day. I am willing to work with anyone at any time to get better at the craft. Will help anyone that has the desire to get better and will also bring leadership if necessary vocally.

 

Career highlights

College Captain, All League senior year college, team defense player.

 

Overseas Goals

To further my pro experiences and get a new set of eyes on me while also experiencing another country.

I played all this summer.
