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

Hitting is his favorite! He started late due to his prosthetics not being made for running, but he now has a running blade and now he’s unstoppable!!!


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

A lot of his inspiration comes from The Avengers. He was only 4 when he had his first amputation surgery so he’s looked up to them for most of his life. They never gave up, so he decided he can never give up either no matter the challenges he faces!


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

He was the first at bat at a cosmic chili peppers game during a game in April in OKC. ….he hit the ball on the first pitch and the entire stadium cheered and then both teams ran out to the field ans lifted him up in the air. It was AMAZING!
