Strengths as a player: “I have good composure on the mound and feel like I locate my pitches well.”
Future plans: “I am studying criminal justice, and I’d like to maybe be a police officer one day. I’d like to go as far as baseball can take me.”
What’s it like living in Green Bay and playing in the new stadium: “I have a great host family that I am staying with – they are awesome. I like the humid Midwest weather in summer here. The stadium is a great setup with the board in the back, and the fans are always there after the games, which is cool.”
Best advice someone has given you: “Don’t over think on the mound. At the end of the day, it’s just a game.”
Favorite MLB team: “Colorado Rockies. They’re my hometown team, and I’ve been a fan since I was a kid.”
