2021 Highlights #2 
January 2022
June 2022Personal Statement
I'm a hard-working athlete, and I'm continuing to grow physically and improve my skills. A heavy regimen of off-season weight-training, batting practice, and throwing technique has helped me continue to improve. I'm an enthusiastic, high-energy teammate and I love the game. I will continue to improve and I hope to play for the highest level program in college that I can.
I pride myself on my athletic ability; hand/eye coordination; speed; being a contact hitter; OBP; glove; being a very aggressive athlete; and maintaining a high energy level. In addition to making "standard" plays and fielding at a high percentage, I'm also proud to be able to go for and make plays that others can't make (please see my video!).

- Batted lead off, and led team in hitting (avg. and OBP), stolen bases (12 of 12) and fielding (1.000). Cobras Elite is a showcase team based in Sanford, NC, with players from central and eastern NC. I led the team in batting average and OBP in summers of 2021 and 2022. Despite the team's small size (just 11 regular players, no backup teams), the team maintains an excellent winning percentage against bigger clubs.
