Who's been the biggest influence on my sports career and why?: There is no one defining person that has been the biggest influence; however, my teammates and coaches have been my main influences. They're the reason I still put my team first. They push me to be the best athlete I can be whether by providing strong competition or through comradery.
About Me: As a pitcher, I have a hard, high spin-rate and high spin efficiency fastball, but that is only one of my traits. I throw several off-speeds with the main types being change-up, slider and curveball. My change-up moves like a left-handed curveball, cutting in on a lefty and then diving down and away. The slider moves horizontally; I can start it at or behind the hip of a righty and move it to the outside corner without tipping the pitch. My curveball has some horizontal movement but is mainly 12 to 6. In addition, I have a fork ball (moves like a knuckleball) and cutter (cuts away from a righty) that I throw depending on how they feel that day. My greatest trait as a pitcher is being able to throw all of these pitches with large amounts of movement while being able to locate all of them. I am generally a starter, but I also thrive out of the pen.

As a fielder, my strongest positions are right field and third base. I train to have good and smooth footwork. I have a plus arm with accuracy.

As a hitter, I hit with the approach of opposite field singles. I try to stay away from tightening-up with my upper body as much as possible to keep a relaxed, focused hitting approach.
