WHAT DOES BEING PART OF AREA CODE BASEBALL MEAN TO YOU

Being part of the Area Code games is an honor because you get to represent the region you are from and play against the best competition in the country

WHAT ARE SOME GOALS YOU HAVE SET FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL SEASON

A team goal that I have for this upcoming season is to finish first in our league. Personal goals I have are to limit the amount of walks per game I have and get ahead with first pitch strikes in all my outings

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY DOING TO PREPARE YOU FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL SEASON

I have been working out up at Cressey Sports Performance in Massachusetts and throwing with my pitching coach Matt Blake

FAVORITE PERSON TO FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND WHY

Matt Blake is my favorite person to follow on social media because he can be humorous but also gives out knowledge about the game
