Springstead HS he earned three seasons of varsity baseball as one of Florida’s premier right handed prep pitchers – boasting an advanced repertoire including low 90s fastball with plenty of life, short slider that induces swing-and-miss pitches from lefthand hitters, and changeup that attacks lefthanded hitters – which made him USF Friday starter in COVID-19 spring season and joins fifth rounder Orion Kerkering this season to form a formidable starting rotation that will serve the Bulls well into next season and beyond!

The Bulls relied heavily on him this season as their Friday starter and one of his top performers on staff. He threw 98.1 innings and boasted the best win/loss record among starters. Additionally, he made appearances in both AAC tournaments and NCAA regionals.

And as an out pitch he utilizes his curveball as often used a swing-and-miss pitch.
