Relentless work ethic, team-first mindset, and heart of a champion—on and off the field, he leads by example every single day.

He love the thrill of competition, the feeling of getting better every day, and the bond with teammates who become like family.
He's inspired by Mookie Betts because of his elite skill, strong work ethic, and how he always plays the game with energy, confidence, and class—on and off the field.
One of the proudest moments was when he stayed calm under pressure and delivered a clutch play when the team needed it most—it showed his growth, confidence, and leadership.
