Next Level U Statement
I’m highly interested in attending a 4 year institution to study kinesiology, sports sciences, athletic training or educational studies for intermediate/senior levels, and to play baseball at the highest possible level while earning my degree. Baseball has been a passion of mine since I was young and one of my main objectives is to learn the skills necessary in order to have a career where I can continue to be involved in the sport.

Outfielder
Player Style:
Pitching:
I have a very smooth pitching windup that requires lots of flexibility which helps me stride closer towards home plate. My goal while pitching is to keep my team in the game for all the innings I pitch. While pitching, I try to get ahead early in the count to use my breaking balls for the strikeouts or groundballs as my offspeed pitches are my best pitches.
Hitting:
Since im a left handed batter, I use the opposite field to my advantage. I stay in the back of the box and focus on hitting the ball towards left center for singles, doubles or triples. I am not a homerun hitter but I am a player that does anything he can do get on base to use my speed to steal bases and score runs for the team.
Fielding:
I can play any outfield position very well since I have great speed and tracking ability. Since I am a pitcher, I know the importance of making clutch plays and always giving 101% and my arm is strong enough to throw guys out trying to advance and score.
Player Strengths:
- Fastball 75-80 mph
- Great breaking pitches (12/6 Curve 60-66mph) (Changeup 65-69mph) (Sinker 72-76mph)
- Contact hitter
- Fast runner
- Very aggressive base runner
- Confident at tracking outfield hits
- Throwing from the outfield
- Great pitching stamina
- Suportive teammate
- Positive player
