Personal: Finance major at UMES…Chose UMES because of the good direction of the baseball program…Step father John Santiago played for the Pittsburgh Pirates organization…Favorite sports team is the New York Mets…Favorite pro athlete is Fernando Tatis Jr…

Favorite baseball memory is making a diving catch to win the game…Favorite thing about baseball is the good friendships that you make along the journey…Enjoys playing at an HBCU because: “Playing baseball for an HBCU means representing something bigger than myself. It is an honor to be part of a legacy built on history, culture, resilience, and opportunity. HBCUs were created to open doors for students who were often denied access elsewhere, so every time I put on the uniform, I feel a responsibility to carry that tradition with pride and respect.”
