Baseball has meant alot to me, hell it was a way of life. I’m proud of my stats and I hope one day that those that I get the opportunity to influence recognize to play in college at this level, you have to own your craft! Baseball set the stage for what I eventually turned pro in! Soon enough this page will be replaced with how many times I blasted my quota and how many times I was salesman of the year. I don’t see a difference in starting in the minors at short and what I am doing today, so you can bet, I still go to practice every day! I’m just not wearing a glove or hitting BP
