High School

When I was a freshman, I earned the opportunity to start at shortstop. I led my high school team in almost every stat on the offensive side of the ball. Sophomore year, I added on by, leading in all but three stats offensively  Also lead in almost every stat pitching wise.

I won my high school team’s Hustle Award my sophomore year. The team noticed the hard work I had put in all year.  I have two more years to show everyone what I have, and each year I will be a better leader and a better player. 

As a junior, I was leading our division in every stat until our season was cancelled due to Covid.
