Honored to be a NCAA baseball player and part of the University of Illinois Baseball Team. When I am not playing baseball I spend time with my friends and family and can be found outdoors fishing, hunting, and golfing. I also enjoy playing video games and keep in touch with my friends and many present and former teammates that way. Traveling all over is definitely a perk of baseball. Traveling anywhere with a beach or nice lake is my idea of perfect. Cancer awareness causes are important to me and the reason I always wear my pink MLB Cancer Awareness bracelet. I have participated in and organized home run derby events raising about $15k for childhood cancer awareness and St. Louis Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital.
