Winter 2025–2026 offseason training at 3PM Pitching with Coach RC Lichtenstein. Emphasis on pitch profile, strength training and adding functional muscle while refining efficient, repeatable mechanics. Focused on durability, workload capacity, and long-term velocity projection. Preparing to develop as a reliable starter capable of taking the ball and competing deep into games this season.

Spring 2025
I was called up to varsity as a sophomore (age 15) and immediately faced high-level hitters from the ESCC and top programs across the state. Those innings helped me learn how to navigate advanced lineups, adjust pitch-by-pitch, and refine the pitch patterns and sequencing that make me effective.
Season Highlights:
4/17/2025 - first varsity appearance, threw 3 innings in relief giving up 1 hit and no runs over 3 innings on 42 pitches in a 6-3 win over Hinsdale South.
4/23/2025 - threw 5.5 innings in relief in a 5-4 loss against conference rival St. Patrick, giving up just 2 runs and striking out 6 while walking 2.
5/8/2025 - first varsity start against Illinois 4A State Champion Libertyville, going 4 innings while giving up 3 runs (2 earned), with 2 Ks and 1 BB, in a 8-1 loss.
5/29/2025 - pitching 3 innings in relief in our regional playoff game, giving up 1 ER with 3 Ks and no walks, in a 9-4 loss.
February 2025
Pitched 3 innings in with no hits, no walks, no runs and 5 strikeouts vs. Farmington Phoenix in the PerfectGame President's Day Classic on February 15, 2025. 2025 season fastball generally sat 77–80 mph, with occasional readings into the low-80s as strength and efficiency improved.
Summer 2024
Verified (Summer before Sophomore Year / Age 15): FB 72–74 / CB 60–62 / Cutter 64–66 / CH 66–68
