Do you have a favorite memory?
Some of my favorite memories are from bus rides with the boys.
What's something you learned from playing baseball that's stayed with you?
Something I’ve learned from playing baseball is that nothing is handed to you in this game. If you want to be great, you have to go get it.
What advice do you have for younger players?
My advice for younger players is to enjoy every moment and never take the game for granted. Work hard, stay coachable, and trust the process because success doesn’t happen overnight. The little things you do every day will separate you in the long run, and make sure to cherish every moment with your teammates because those memories will last forever.
