As a player: Spent 5 years in college baseball across both D2 and D3 schools. Played on nationally ranked Maryville College. Played in highly touted MLB affiliate summer league, The Appalachian League, against competition from all divisions of baseball and against/with multiple draft picks and independent league level players. In high school, was an area all-star and top-30 pitcher in TN. Won 3 District titles, 2 Sectional titles, and 2 State Tournament appearances. Training along side current MLB pitcher Hunter Stratton for nearly a year, as well as multiple other minor league players during my career. Trained with Tread Athletics, the leading pitching organization, and at the Texas Baseball Ranch.
Overall, I have gained a lot of experience when it comes to what it takes to be an elite level pitcher. I have spent years learning the best coaching methods through personal trial and error.
