Next Level U Statement
I am interested in transferring to a 4-year institution, while obtaining a degree related to Exercise Science or Kinesiology. With my high-velocity on the mound (61-65mph), I find myself really good at pitch location and good movement especially with my fastball and riseball. I always maintain a positive attitude on and off the field, and I contribute a strong bat at the plate. I am looking for a positive environment in which everyone is working towards the same goals!
