Didn't miss a day of hitting over the winter. Went 1 for 2 with 2BB in 1st scrimmage off three D-I commits. Going to be a great Junior season. @CLS_Baseball@15SportsBulldog@LegacyBaseball5

Spent the weekend at a D-I camp. On base 3 of 6 times and threw the equivalent of 1 2/3rds innings with a K allowing just a ground ball single. Video shows my 8-pitch AB vs. a lefty throwing mid-80s, including continuing the AB after taking a slider off the helmet on the 4th pitch. @CLS_Baseball@15SportsBulldog
Very productive trip to Headfirst NE3 this week. Overall, I threw the equivalent of 6 2/3rds innings with 3H, 3BB, 7Ks (24 batters faced). YouTube link shows the 5 1/3 I threw Aug 5th (https://t.co/gBtkL0bzhH). Video below shows one, 6 batter session (all batters start with 1-1 count).

Video of the best six swings from my 12 ABs at Lakepoint 16u Nat'l Championships (wood bat). Also had 3 BBs. Played every inning at 1st base and led off all but one of the games. Looking forward to WWBA Nat'l Championship with my team next week.

The Varsity Save I picked up in April. Entered in 6th, up 6-2 with 0 outs and runners on 1st & 2nd. Video shows the 6 pitches it took in the 6th to induce a 4-6-3 DP, a ground ball error, and a broken bat soft line drive to 2nd. Finished off the save in the 7th. @cltbsblacademy
Line drive single vs. 90+ mph fastball off Wake Forest ’25 commit pitching for #2 team in NC. Unfortunately this was our team's only hit of that game, but we came back and beat them later in the week where I was on base 3 of 4 times. @CLS_Baseball@cltbsblacademy
