What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

What I love most about baseball is the relentless pursuit of excellence, knowing that every rep, every drill, every game is a chance to get closer to my goal of playing professionally. It's about constantly pushing myself to improve. Baseball is a game of failure and I embrace those challenges, because I know that every setback is an opportunity to learn and grow. Ultimately, it's my dream to play professional baseball, and that passion fuels my dedication and my love for the game.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

My dad inspires me. Whether it’s on the field helping me to achieve my dream or off the field helping me to become a man a better human overall. It doesn’t matter what happens, because he always trying to guide and help me to become better in any aspect and if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be the man I am today.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

One of my proudest moment. Maxx was invited to guess play for a team that needed extra players. It was elimination day , and as per the coach’s rule, guess players batted last in the lineup. By the third inning , all nine batter before Maxx had struck out , and the team was down 7-0 without a single hit. Maxx finally got his chance at bat , he crushed a home run , making the score 7-1. That one hit completely changed the energy of the game and we won 8-7 on Maxx 2nd at bat 2 run homer.
