1. What are some areas of your game that you have been focusing on lately to improve upon?
Striking the ball with more backspin and driving my knee to crest more force behind my swings. I’ve also been trying to improve on folding slow rollers with more quickness
2. What are some goals and dreams you hope to reach in the next couple of years?
I hope to attend a JUCO school and to be able to progress there and potentially play d1 in the future. I would like to major in some sort of science and become a physical therapist in the future. But as of now I would love to just play college baseball somewhere and be in the game as long as I can.
3. How long have you been playing baseball and what got you started in the game?
I’ve been playing baseball since I was 4 years old. My dad played college baseball and he really helped me gain a love to the game and ever since I was young I knew that was what I wanted to do. My goal was always to get better every day and to be able to Cary in the legacy
4. What are some of your favorite things about the game of baseball?
I love the relationships you build with people and the life lessons it teaches you. It really teaches you how to fight through failure and how to keep your composure and a good mind set.
5. Who in your life has helped push you to be your best on the field?
Definitely my parents . They have always been at my games to support me and to help me with everything I wanted to do in the game. They have helped me find good camps and good teams to play on and have only supported me in my decisions I have made.
6. Any additional thoughts.
I just love the game and everything about it. I love the teammates and life lessons I get to learn along the way. But in the end the game about baseball is just fun!!
