Committed. First, I want to give all the glory to God and thank him for this opportunity and being there for everything and guiding me through my life. Next, I want to thank all my coaches who have been there and helped me through this whole process and being the player I am. Finally, I want to thank Coach Goff and the FSCJ coaching staff for giving me this opportunity and can’t wait to start. @tboss48 @bmendizabalNCSA @NCSA_Baseball @derekelftmann @jakewoods2115

This is our goal for the First Coast! #FirstCoastScout Follow us for season-long coverage of First Coast High School Baseball with weekly leader updates, commitments, and other news.
Coaches need verified metrics to give you a serious look. Biggest thing you can do as an uncommitted kid is verify all of it asap … exit velo / 60 / pop time / OF - IF velo Stats are misleading and hold little to no value to colleges ✅
