Major League Debut (June 2, 2026): 
I don’t even know where to begin with this post but what an absolute blessing the past few days have been. The amount of gratefulness and thankfulness I have is off the charts. 

Thank you Jesus for giving me the talents and abilities that I have and helping me work to improve every single day. I’m so thankful for all of my friends, family members, girlfriend, former teammates, coaches, and anybody who has had a part in my life over the years for always supporting me and always encouraging me to keep going. 

This journey has been such a rollercoaster of emotions but I could always feel that it was for a reason. Every hardship, every moment where I didn’t feel good enough, every mental battle I’ve had along the way was for a reason. It’s a tough journey, this life is not as easy as it seems at times. But it is very much worth the grind and worth the struggles. 

Last thing I would like to mention is how appreciative I am of myself. There were plenty of moments where I could’ve chosen the easier route, the lazy option, the weak option.. but I pushed myself to where I never thought I could go. I’m thankful that I made those decisions because it made me who I am. I don’t mean for this to sound cocky at all but I’m so proud of pushing myself and achieving this goal I’ve had since I was a kid. I definitely didn’t do it alone but ultimately I was the one who had to choose the hard options over the years. The tough option isn’t always the easiest but it will definitely build you into the person you are meant to become. 

Seriously, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has had an impact on my life. What an absolute dream come true ❤️
