Why did you choose Santa Clara?
I chose Santa Clara because I was blown away with the excellent coaching staff and how committed they were to recruit me. Also the academics at Santa Clara are phenomenal. The beautiful School and weather were just the cherries on top.

What draws you to baseball? What is special about the college game?
I was born and raised around Baseball, nothing drew me to the game. I loved the game since day one and everyday I am out on the field I am reminded why I love the game. Baseball at the college level is much more crisp and fast paced which makes the game just as fun and energetic.
