Scouting Report: 6-foot-1, 181-pound athletic framed prospect has  a live arm from the OF. Easily throwing 86 mph with carry. Moves well.

Sways his body, takes his hands back and delivers a quick top hand release swing. On the mound takes a step left moving into a high leg lift with a slight leg  jerk.

PBR: What is your favorite subject in school and future major?
Ethan: Math. Not sure yet what I want to study but right now leaning towards the financial world, dealing in the stock market.

PBR: Do you play another sport?
Ethan: Football, was on varsity last year. I also play basketball but more for fun, not with the school.

PBR: Fun fact about yourself (something unique or people would not expect)
Ethan: That I am kinda shy. My friends would be shocked since I am always talking and making people laugh. But it is really tough for me to talk to someone new when I first meet them.

PBR: What can you bring to a college baseball program?
Ethan: Besides all the bats in my bat bag, just joking.  My Gym rat mentality. Nobody is gonna work harder than me during the season or off season. Plus I hate to lose. It is part of the game, and life, but it drives me even more to want to win the next one.

PBR: What are your baseball accolades (Tournament championship, all league, etc...)
Ethan: Obviously my current high PBR ranking, thank you. Played on travel teams that won several tourney championships. 8 to 10 Gameday USA tourney MVP game awards. Travel team captain. Team Captain last year on JV as a freshman.

PBR: How's your HS season going?
Ethan: Up and down. Playing in the OK Red is a challenge every week.We are currently below 500 on the Season, obviously would rather be well above that. But as a team we need to keep grinding to get better.  I have played great in the field all season. Started hot most of the season at the plate, cooled off the past 3 games. Trying to get back into my hitting rhythm, stop pressing and let the ball travel a little more.

PBR: Who do you play for in the summer?
Ethan: Best program in the State, Kalamazoo Maroons. Great coaches that have taught me alot and I look forward to next couple years working with them. Will play with the 17/18U teams most of the season but am excited to play a couple tourneys with the 16U team.
