My journey in baseball has been a blend of triumph and challenge. As a two-time first-round draft pick by the Blue Jays and Giants, a national champion, and a graduate of Vanderbilt University, I've experienced the highs of competing at the biggest levels. My five years in the big leagues with the Giants, Pirates, and Guardians brought moments of success, but I also faced adversity through injuries, inconsistency, and self-doubt. Those experiences have shaped me into a humble mentor, ready to guide the next generation pitchers on their unique paths in the game.
