PBR Comments:
Strong project-able frame, wide shoulders, should gain considerable strength at the next level. Saw in game action on the mound three to four times in the last year. Fastball was anywhere between 79-83 mph with a heavy sinking action and tight spinning breaking ball.  At the plate, square stance, arm bar to stride with an uphill swing path. Showed barrel control to both sides of plate. Middle to pull side contact. Posted an 85 mph exit velocity off a tee. Playable hands and feet at first base. Reads hops, threw from a quick ¾ arm action across at 76 mph. 

PBR: Why did you choose Neosho? 
After visiting several good schools Neosho stood out as the best fit for me.
 
PBR: What other schools were you considering?
Garden City CC
Seward County CC 
Cloud County CC
PBR: Where did the coaching staff first see you? How did your relationship develop with them?
They saw a video of one of my bullpens and asked me to come down for a workout and visit. Our relationship developed through the video, texting, and at my visit.
 
PBR: Do you feel relieved now that the process is over and you can just focus on baseball and not deal with everything that goes into picking a school?
Yes I do, I waited longer on my decision than most did and I'm happy that I did because I wanted to be sure that I made the best decision for myself.
 
PBR: Was there one deciding factor that put your choice over the top?
The reputation of winning and moving players on to the next level.
 
PBR: Who has helped you the most to get to where you are today?
My dad has helped me with everything in the game, he's been my coach since little league all the way up until I went to high school. He's helped me become the player I am today. The guys that I have trained with every day this off season have also helped me make big strides this winter.
 
PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? Was it easy/difficult?
Initially I thought that I would have a decision made a lot sooner than I did. It was quite a bit more difficult than I thought it was going to be. 
PBR: What plans does the coaching staff have in store for you in your freshman season?
They plan on having me come in and compete as a two way player.

PBR: What is your most memorable baseball moment to date?
My first start my sophomore year on Varsity I threw a no hitter.
 
PBR: Who is the best player that you have competed against?
Cole Stobbe
PBR: Going into your senior season, what are you expectation for you team?
To be a competitive team throughout the year and to be one of the last two teams left at state.
