He’s a southpaw relief pitcher who first made his mark when he was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 37th round of the 2019 Major League Draft. That was a big step for him, and it set the stage for what would come next. In March 2021, he was acquired by the Los Angeles Angels, giving him a fresh opportunity to grow in a new organization. Before all the professional attention, though, he was making waves at Columbus State University, where he played collegiately. During his junior year, he earned some impressive honors—being named an ABCA All-American and also landing a spot on the first team All-Peach Belt Conference. That kind of performance doesn’t go unnoticed. He hails from Columbus, Georgia, where he spent his formative years and developed his passion for the game. Family has always been important to him; his mother, Kellie, has been a constant support, and he shares a close bond with his brother, Kody. It’s clear that his journey—from college standout to professional prospect—has been shaped by both talent and the people who’ve stood by him along the way.
