Q: How long have you been playing baseball?

A: I’ve played my whole life.

Q: What are your plans for college?

A: Next year I’ll be attending Boston College and will probably play on some club baseball team.

Q: What is your favorite aspect of baseball?

A: My favorite aspect of baseball is the mental aspect of the game and hitting.

Q: Do you have any advice for other athletes?

A: I’m an advocate of practice.  If you want to be good at anything you have to practice, and, being a game of repetition, baseball is very conducive to practice.

A: My goals have been just to get the job done when the team needs me and play to win a championship.

Q: How do you balance sports and academics?

Q: What are some other hobbies you have besides sports?

A: Besides baseball, I’m an avid musician, playing the guitar.
