High school baseball and a little bit of jr. college baseball. I Had some pro tryouts.
How did you get your start in softball and how did you get to the upper level?
I started playing for fun after I was done with baseball but I had no clue that softball existed at such a high level. As soon as I found out about upper ball I started grinding to move up to the highest level I could get to.

Not really I just try to play the game the right way.
What would you say is your career highlight to this point? Maybe one play or game that sticks out to you in particular?
2nd place at A worlds as a B team in 2017 with TG Brand. We went on an unreal run and it was the most fun I've ever had on a softball field. Winning the last chance major home run derby in 2011 as a local C player was unreal as well.

Make people get in the batters box faster instead of letting some of these guys take 2 minutes to get in the box. I think it would speed the game up a ton.
