What position do you play in baseball?
Catcher. When I’m not catching, I usually play 3rd base.
Do you have a favorite all-time sports memory?
A few months ago, I hit my first out-of-the-park home run that was a walk-off grand slam.
Is there a sport that you haven’t played yet that you eventually want to play and why?
Basketball, because I’ve never played in a team league before but I practice outside my house with my friends a lot.
If you’re not playing sports, what are you doing in your free time?
Playing video games with my Dad and friends from school.
What’s the hardest thing about playing baseball?
As a catcher, knowing how to adjust to the different pitches and speed of the throws.
How important is it to be a supportive teammate to your squad?
Very important because some players are really hard on themselves when they make an error so they need supportive teammates to help keep their mind right.
Do you have a favorite player currently in the MLB? If so, who?
Yes, Jazz Chisholm Jr.
What’s something in baseball that you want to continue improving at?
Definitely catching. I want to go to college on a baseball scholarship.
Do you prefer playing baseball games in the morning, afternoon, or evening and why?
Mornings because it’s not too hot and there usually aren’t mosquitoes out.
What is your go-to song to get you hyped and ready for game day?
Game Time by Flo Rida
