I played high school baseball football and basketball. Played 2 years of juco baseball but decided it was to much like a job to continue to a 4 year school
How did you get your start in softball and how did you get to the upper level?
I played with some buddies in backwoods tournaments back in 2010 then met my buddy John Brigman and we went to play with some headhunters guys in a one pitch. Got a call a few days later from
Carlton and play with them in the 2012 season.
What was the most surprising difference between Conference play and non-Conference play when you made the jump?
The defense especially and then u don't see as many miss hits from top to bottom of the lineup. Just all around better competition and not as many holes in the lineup.
What advice can you give a young player trying to break into the upper level?
Do what u do and play ur game. This game isn't as easy as people make it to be. Keep ur head up and play hard

I have played every outfield position in the last 2 years but wanna start playing some second or middle. Best position would be right field I believe because of my speed.
What batting grip do you use?
Overlap

28
What do you do in the offseason to prepare for the next softball season?
Bp bp bp!!! I also take balls in the infield and outfield while other people hit to stay sharp

Have to get in the box the same way every time an can't stand for bats to be crossed
What is your most memorable softball moment?
Of course enjoyed winning the conference championship with Adiktiv this past year but it was also really fun winning the Boone's tournament in 2012 with headhunters. That was my first
tournament meeting the big boys!
What would be your "at bat" music selection?
"All We Do Is Win" by T-Pain
What is the best improvement upper level softball could make?
Limiting the number of major players to a team so there would be more teams in the league and make the competition even better
What is your favorite non-World tournament?
Smoky. By far one of the coolest tourneys to attend

Where is the best place to eat on the road after a game?
Anywhere where there r beautiful women and cold beer
What is the funniest thing you have ever seen on a softball field?
Played in a backwoods tournament one weekend just to get out of the house. Played with a guy in the outfield who apparently had never played out there. He went to catch a routine fly ball he missed it and the ball hit him in the forehead and the man called "TIME OUT". I almost passed out from laughing! He let the bases clear before he decided to get the ball in.
Raley is a good kid and has alot of potential. Can run like the wind and is one of the best defensive outfielders out there. He is a great teammate and can really help a team out with his speed. Definitely worth giving him a shot.
Great team mate. Gives you 110% all the time. He went from a role player to our best outfielder with HH in 2012. Good luck bud, and thanks for the props.

Great jump and great speed in the outfield. Takes away a ton of doubles! Always works on his game and has a great attitude.
This kid amazes you with his closing speed on a ball in the gap to take away a hit! Always is looking for advice on anything to help him get better to better his team.
