My passion and dedication for the game of baseball is second to none. My goal is to play college baseball when I graduate high school and I am working very hard to achieve that goal both physically and academically. I have attended IMG Academy since the 10th grade and will graduate from IMG in 2017. I am a fulltime boarding student at IMG and this has helped me to be very independent. The transition from high school to college will be seamless as I have been on my own since I was 14 years old.
Our on-field and off-field schedule at IMG is incredibly busy and on top of that I push myself to constantly improve my skills between games and practices (after hours) with many excellent coaches as well as on my own. I sprint and practice outfield skills with Coach Tim Raines, Jr on a weekly basis after hours and this has changed my game immensely. I hit every day both with my team for practice and after hours and I really enjoy lifting weights.
