He’s not just talented—he’s a leader. As a catcher, he sees the whole field, lifts up his teammates, and plays with heart.

He loves the strategy behind the game—the challenge of always knowing where to be and what play to make. It keeps him mentally locked in and makes every moment on the field exciting
He looks up to his mom. She battled cancer when he was just 4 years old, and they went through it together. Her strength, resilience, and determination left a lasting impact on him—and shaped how he approaches challenges both on and off the field
What makes me proudest is his leadership and teamwork. As a catcher, he doesn’t hesitate to pause the game to check in with his pitcher. He knows the game is won as a team, and he plays with heart, communication, and trust.
