08/15/2026 The day my dream of playing in the big leagues became a reality.

Taking a moment to breathe and reflect, I think about the kid growing up in the cold streets of Boston, always looking for ways to overcome adversity and find a path forward.

From getting drafted, to facing every challenge head-on, to overcoming every obstacle and all the sacrifices made… It has all helped me become the person and player I am today.

This moment is bigger than baseball. It represents a dream that started as a kid and the journey it took to finally make it a reality. I didn’t do this alone, it took a village. 

Thank you to everyone who has congratulated me, supported me,  and stood by me throughout this journey.
