Baseball
I am so grateful to have played baseball at New Mexico State University from 2019 until 2022. Those were some of the best years of my life and I will always cherish the memories I made on and off the field.
I had the honor of playing under the guidance of three amazing coaches, Mike Kirby, Keith Zuniga, and Michael Pritchard. They not only taught me the fundamentals of the game, but also instilled in me a love for the sport that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I will always be grateful for the wisdom, encouragement, and guidance they provided me.
I was a first baseman and hitting was my favorite part of the game. I loved the feeling of the bat connecting with the ball and watching it soar over the fence. Those moments will forever be ingrained in my mind.
But what I will cherish the most are the good times I had with my teammates. We worked hard on the field and laughed even harder off it. We had each other's backs and pushed each other to be the best we could be. I am so thankful for the bonds I formed with those guys and I know that we will always be connected through our shared experiences.
In conclusion, my time playing baseball at New Mexico State University was truly life-changing. I will forever be grateful for the opportunities and memories I gained, and I will always respect and honor my coaches and teammates.
