I have been playing baseball since I was 6 years old. As much as I liked it, I really started to enjoy the game when I went on to play travel ball as a 3rd baseman, centerfielder and pitcher with Levittown West Tigers at the age of 8. When I was 11, I started playing with the Nassau Orioles 14u team as a pitcher and outfielder where I learned a lot despite my size (compared to my older teammates at the time!). When I was at Cooperstown with the Levittown West Tigers, I hit three home runs and one Grand Slam. I played shortstop, centerfield and pitched for Levittown Thunder 14u last year. While I was in 8th grade, I was asked by Division Avenue High School to play on their JV team as a rostered player. Unfortunately COVID-19 canceled the baseball season. This summer I started playing centerfield for Next Level on their 15u team. I may be the youngest on the team, but I have a lot of heart. I am proud to be playing with some of the best players on Long Island and look forward to many more years of baseball. This past 2019/2020 academic year, I earned High Honor Roll status for all four quarters, and am excited to move up to Division Avenue High School, Levittown, in the fall of 2020. I live in Levittown with my parents and two dogs and when I am not on the field, I enjoy time with friends, family and playing baseball and basketball.
