Two things you bring to the team: I’m a very hardworker and I try to lead by example
Who most influenced your athletic career and why: Mydad, by first sharing the love of the game with me. I can rememberalways hitting and throwing in the backyard with him and my grandpauntil it got dark out. Plus it’s always an awesome feeling tolook up and see him at almost every game.
Reason you chose your number: I choose number 30because 5 was taken and 25 was also and being a math person I addedthe two up and got 30
Pre-game Rituals: Tape up before the game, left thenright. Before the game starts I like to take five minutes alone tojust get myself mentally prepared for the game. Also listening tomusic before the game always helps
Greatest Sports Memory: The greatest memorywould have to be my senior year in our last division game at home.Entering the 7th inning our team trailed7-3 and my friend Mike Giordano hit a two run homerun to make it7-5, then I hit a two run homerun to make it 7-7. Then two inningslater Brian Schroeder hit a game winning walk off single up themiddle. This was a great memory because it was awesome to see twoof my closest friends come through in the clutch.
