Winter break is coming to an end, and I wanted to share a compilation of the training I have been doing over the past several weeks. No throwing in this video as my team is coming out of a throwing break. Super excited to start the season! Before winter shutdown: FB 83-86 CB 74-77 SL 77-78 KNCH 77-80 14” IHB

I spent this fall in the lab with both @LawsonBaseball and @eXposureTristar sharpening my tools. We played one tournament this fall, where I went 4-7 with 3 singles and a double. Took thousands of swings this fall really trying to get my bat at hot as I can. Pitching wise, I focused this fall to hone in my location, and I was able to display this at the Belmont camp, Trevecca camp, and my HS live AB’s, which I struck out 4/6 batters, and the other two grounded out. In addition to that I hit a pulldown PR of 91.
