Alliance Nationals is a wrap! Not the finish we were hoping for, but I’m so thankful for every moment with this team. Finished the week batting .466 with 2 doubles and some great diving catches in RF.
Thank you to all the coaches who came out to watch us compete!

CO Sparkler is a wrap! It didn’t end the way we hoped by getting knocked out in extra innings. I’m proud of how our team battled against some really tough competition in the National Power Pool. 💪

Finished the tournament with 4 HRs, a dbl, and a 1.056 SLG.

Grateful for every opportunity to compete, and I’m excited to keep putting in the work. Next up… Alliance Nationals! 🔥🎆

Another step forward. Had an awesome time at the USA HPP Identifier and came home with some new PRs!

• 74 MPH Exit Velo (tee)
• 64 MPH Overhand Throwing Velo
• 4.66 5-10-5 Shuttle
• 2.92 20-Yard Dash

Proud of these numbers, but not done yet. Can’t wait to see where they’re at next year. 🔥

New PR: 101.5 grip strength 💪 during ODM testing in California!

Excited to see the progress from all the work that’s been put in, but I’m not done yet. Time to get the left hand caught up and keep working toward 110+.
