Since starting at the age of 4, baseball has been a major part of my life teaching me responsibility, discipline, and respect. Baseball has been such a positive influence on my life which is a major reason why I dream of playing this beautiful game in college and hopefully beyond. I have been dreaming about this opportunity my whole life.
Catching has been my primary position since I was 9. Even though catching is a difficult position to play, I love catching. Leading the defense, working with a pitcher, and building relationships with umpires to help our team be successful is a great feeling. I always put in work to grow as a player, get better, and get to the next level. The team is greater than me, and I always put the team first.
Academics is an important part for my success in life. The lessons at high school and into college will help me become a better man. No matter what I do, I want to be great at it, baseball, academics, anything. I strive to be better than I was yesterday and make the most of every opportunity I get.
