Advice to younger players: Play the game you love because you love it. Not because you are good at it. Fall in love with the game and play it with passion.

Words to those he loves:  Lettha (Grandmother), he was the reason I keep going. Although you are no longer here physically, I feel your presence every day. Continue to watch over me and keep me safe. I love you and I miss you. 
Joyce (mom), you are my rock and I don’t know what I would do without you. Raising three kids on your own was not easy and I appreciate you for making sure we had what we needed. Your hard work and determination drives me to be the best me every day of my life. I love you.
Buddy (brother), thank you for keeping me in the sun all of those days just so I could pursue my dream of playing college baseball. Thank you for being the father figure I needed any young age. He introduced me to this game and I fell in love with. Thank you for teaching me dedication.
Bianca (Fiancé), Thank you for putting up with me and baseball for the last six years. Thank you for keeping me grounded and never let me get off track. You are the love of my life and I never want to do Life without you. I can’t wait to walk the aisle with you.
