I am excited to announce my commitment to play division 1 baseball and continue my academic career at St. Peter’s University. I would like to thank @CoachAJGonzo for this opportunity! Go Peacocks! #strutup

Worked it hard and smart this summer to put on 10 lbs of muscle which are paying off in the gym and showing up in my skills work. And, to close out the summer season, here are some machine generated off-speed reps.

Recent reps focused on head and top hand discipline, then opening up and just letting it flow with cuts in the velo lane.
