I am a current professional baseball player with the Florence Y'alls in Kentucky. I will be in Tampa during the offseason from September 1st until late February where I would like to begin coaching. I have experience playing junior college baseball as well as division 1 baseball at Miami University before I signed to a professional team this year. I have a passion for not only playing baseball but also helping others chase there dream. I am open to working with players on hitting and fielding.
