got into baseball around the age of five or six um it was just me and my dad you know playing wolf in the backyard and then I started to play Little League about 7 or eight and then um I really like got serious with baseball around 11 or 12 is when I started to play um travel ball and then I made a switch to the sou show at Panthers and that's when everything got like super serious with baseball and then my influence for baseball was probably my dad just showing me um in the backyard with the whff ball but my favorite player probably what like Made Me Love baseball was Justin Upton when I was a little kid I chose um North Carolina State other over any other college program which just the coaching staff was what um stood out to me the most you know coach Chrysler coach Hart and Coach aent you know they did a really good job of kind of separating from every other college in the recruiting process and what they're building um right now we're getting new facilities so I'm really excited about that but it was mainly just my relationship with the coach staff and how much love they showed me but really stood out from every every other college so um I switched the South sh Panthers like I said in the fall of last year and um coach Scott coach Scott Clemens really um helped me out with the crud in process as soon as I joined the Panthers he got me a list of colleges and I got in contact with colleges but um I really NC State came and watched me play and um when we went down to WWA in Florida and they wanted me to come to a camp when I got back and I went to a camp and I threw really well at the camp and hit good PP and they wanted to offer me so they made me an offer um the next day and um you know I took 6 months with my family and we kind of really talked it out but I knew NC State was my home so I pulled the trigger on February 1st perfect um not not necessarily you know I kind of really it's relieved pressure for me um because you know on the circuit and playing High School baseball you um worry about getting recruited so you know committing at such an early age I'm just really comfortable and I go out there and you know play my game and really don't worry about anything else and it being committed an early age kind of took all the pressure off of me playing High School baseball perfect perfect perfect I'd say my greatest strength is just being able to hit Gap to Gap and uh you know living off the walls and I'm a big doubles guy so I feel that I can drive the ball in the Gap and then a weakness would just be probably being more consistent not striking out as much but um you know I've kind of the past summer we've toned that down a little bit so um that' probably be my weakness B I the Superstition is um I always a lot of people go uh arm sleeve on their right arm I go arm sleeve on the opposite arm and go wrist tape and then I always I always put in the same playlist on the way to the field every single day look better though um I would say my favorite baseball memory was probably coopertown um just that was that was really just the best memory you get to go with all your best friends on your team and you get to go play against a hundred other teams and you live in bunks together and you play wolf ball outside so that's definitely the best memory I've had so far playing baseball n um the advice for uncommitted players trying to get looked at I would just say play on the circuit um go to showcases when you can you don't need to overdo the showcases maybe go to the National showcase that's probably the biggest one you can go to but really just playing well on the travel ball circuit and going to camps camp the camp was my biggest thing was where I got the offers so go to camps and um just play on the circuit and play well and work work hard started off the day in the cages hit hit about two rounds off the te then got some soft toss then we got out here on the field and hit some BP on the field Let It Go loose and then we got the glove we got the arm loose after that we had some defensive drills from shortstop and this closes out my day in life thanks for watching
