Bio
At Rice
2020: Played in nine of the team’s 16 games with six starts, all in left field… Moved over to right field once (vs. UC Irvine) and showed versatility with defensive innings at second base (UC Irvine) and third base (Texas State)… Batted as high as fourth in the starting lineup… Collected two hits, drove in a run and scored in his Division I debut on opening day vs. nationally ranked Texas.
An offensive catalyst behind New Mexico College's 42-17 season that reached all the way to the 2019 NJCAA World Series in Grand Junction, Colo… Amassed an eye-opening 91 hits in 59 starts to finish seventh in the nation among all JC batters… Averaged 1.54 hits per game (and consider that 32 of the team's 59 games were 7-innings or fewer)… Finished the year hitting .425 for the Thunderbirds, the 23rd highest juco batting average in the nation… Closed out two JC seasons with a .395 career batting average (145h, 367ab), 17 home runs, seven triples, 29 doubles, .651 SLG%, 103 RBI and 101 runs scored in 103 career games.
