Learn More"My love for this sport originated from ambition; It's not the cliche 'if I have ambition, I'll do whatever it takes to reach that goal.' My ambition is to feel free, my love for this sport is the ambition to be free while I play. No need for expensive stuff or anything for that matter- a bat, ball, and glove makes me feel free when I play. It's not the competitive field I love, it's the want, the love to feel free." -Alejandro garcia
"Myself. If you gave me all the best hall of famers to teach me. I wouldnt be the same person if I didn't idolize myself to be better. I do the work for everything that's given to me, and if I don't think I'm good for what I get, I need to inspire myself to be better and want more."
"My proudest? It would be getting my first select team. I wasn't exposed to so much playing league where I live, I remember vividly asking one of my teammates, "whats ballpin?" He never looked at me the same at practice. Point is, after select ball, my passion, my want, it didn't just get more competitive. But it filled my heart with freedom, with that joy to say, "yes, I did that, I worked myself to get there." And I would never say my first homerun because if I want another one, it'll come."
