I love the constant grind of getting better both on and off the baseball diamond. Every rep, every practice, and every moment is a chance to grow not just as a player but as a person and teamate. I push myself to improve, and I enjoy helping my teammates do the same. Whether it’s through hard work, encouragement, or leading by example, I believe growth is a team effort. Getting better isn’t just a goal it’s a mindset I live by every single day.
God inspires me every day, both on and off the field. I play with purpose, knowing He gave me this gift and calling. Through wins and losses, I lean on Him for strength, focus, and humility. My grandpa also motivates me his dedication and hard work remind me to never take a day for granted. He leads by example, showing me that true success comes from consistent effort and faith. Their influence pushes me to be the best version of myself in every part of life.
The proudest moment in my baseball career wasn’t just one game or hit it was choosing to put in the effort every day to become the best player I can be when given the opportunity. I committed to the grind, stayed focused, and trusted the process. Now, when I look back, I can see real growth not just in my stats, but in my mindset, discipline, and confidence. That journey of improvement is what I’m most proud of, and it keeps me motivated to keep going.
