Eight months ago, baseball had to be put on hold after I was diagnosed with testicular cancer.

Today I’m in observation mode, back in the weight room, and building toward the spring season. The game never left my mind. Time to get back to work.

See you on the field!

Coming back better than ever! Love you Harley, looking forward to you being back out there!❤️⚾️

Showed off the strength in rounds with a 102.5 top EV working middle to pull side. Adjustability in the swing that produces in game.

Steady producer on the varsity level this spring.

Loud barrel here in this 3rd AB from ‘28 Harley Matela (Cape Henry).

Hangs in the load a bit and gets it down on time for a double to CF.
