There is a lot of players to be named, but I'm gonna stick with my Texas boys and have to go with Cory Large, Steve Whaley, Cooper Vittitow and my boy Chris Potts. I have the up most respect for them because they play the game the right way and also because they are great human beings.

Softball allows me to stay competitive, travel the U.S. and make never ending friendships. Also because it's fun.

Who is the best up and coming player in softball and why?
I don't know if you can consider him up and coming if they already have their name but gonna say stuart snell. Guy kills the ball.  Also Ben Dunn best center fielder I have ever played with.

What was the most surprising difference between Conference play and non-Conference play when you made the jump?
The quality of players and for sure the defense those weak grounder don't get through like they do in local ball

Is there a player that you would compare your game to?
Well this might start an arguement because cooper Vittitow says I'm his protégé but Cory Large thinks different.. But i would say large just because we are both leftys… I'm far from as good as him buy maybe one day. Lol

What would you say is your career highlight to this point? Maybe one play or game that sticks out to you in particular?
Really can't think of one off the top of my head haven't been playing that long. Maybe is was winning GSA worlds this past weekend lol grand total of 6 teams

In your career was there a single person (player/manager/coach) who had the most significant impact on your approach to the game? Why?
There is alot of them. But whaley, large, potts, and lyf are always giving me pointers on how to get better. But also my mom and dad I wouldn't be where I am today without them.

What advice can you give a young player trying to break into the upper level?
Don't be too big for the game. Practice every chance you get and be thankful for every opportunity you get. Always play hard because you never know who might be watching.

What type of batting grip do you use and what ounce bat?
Just your normal grip.  And 27 Oz either endload or balanced just depends on what on feeling
