About
I am currently in the game myself. I’ve played at 3 schools from Division 3 to Junior College and now NAIA. I gain knowlege everyday from hands on experiences from a lot of different coaches.
My three years of playing college baseball we have accomplished:
3 National Tournament Appearences
Been ranked at 6th, 13th, and 15th Nationally
First Team All Conference
First Team All Region
6 Pitcher of the weeks in conference play
I like to see students grow when working with them. Whether you are just picking the game up or you are getting ready to go play at the next level, we can all get better and I like to share my knowledge with students of the game.
