Forever grateful for all the opportunities I have been given throughout my baseball career and made many lifelong friends.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my journey. More to come this summer.

Thank you @GraceCollegeBSB for inviting me to your prospect camp! Grateful for the opportunity to come out and meet players and coaches and continuing to develop my skills.

Last weekend at the Perfect Game wood bat tournament in Marion Iowa I went 6-12 (.500) against high level competition. Although our team feel short of our goals we look forward to bouncing back this weekend in Joliet.

Good weekend overall, seeing some good competition. In the first two games I played better defensively, not finding any gaps offensively. The next 2 games I collected 2 hits in each, ending the weekend 4 for 12 (.333)

@TaddGibby24 @wvhsbaseball @BRbackstop11 @KalebThiesse

[ESP National 2026 @2026ESPNational]

We played again today at Prospect Meadows with
@IowaPG .

@NathanNap4820 and @Deanalb99
battled on the mound. @Deanalb99
and Jake Quinn rapped two hits apiece and
@GianniGotDrip22, @AidanKornak and
@ethanpierce0 also barreled balls.

Not enough to win, though.

This is not a repost. For the second time in 15 hours, @Deanalb99 clears the bases with a first-inning XBH to spark a W!

@NathanNap4820 goes 5IP, 6K, 0BB, then @Deanalb99 closes out our 7-3 win.

@QPaprockas goes 2-3 with 2B, RBI.

Now we enjoy the 4th in Nashvegas!
