Personal
I am a Primary Shortstop that runs a 6.6 60 yard dash time and a 3.82-3.91 home to first time. I have been clocked anywhere from 92-95 across the infield from SS and had multiple 103+ exit velos in the spring season.
I can play any infield or outfield position at a high level, especially 3B, 2B, and CF. I also have been training to pitch and can be a relief pitcher. In a recent bullpen (July 2024), I was at 87-90 mph.
I am a high energy guy that brings a sense of humor and some fun to a dugout whether I know anybody or not. I am a hard worker that will go 100% every time in between the lines and do anything for the team and the guys on the field with me. I have always loved learning more and more about the game and have a ton of knowledge that I carry with me and love to help others.

Coaching
I have a ton of knowledge of the game from playing under many coaches and learning from many players. Being a captain my junior and senior year of college taught me how to lead and motivate as well as teach the game, whether its mechanics or mindset.
Overseas Goals
I want to compete and play at the highest level I can. I want to help teams win and believe I can bring that through skill, energy, and leadership. I have so much fun playing baseball and finding a program that loves to win and enjoys doing it will be the best fit for me.
My last game was in July 2024 and have been training ever since.
