When did you start playing baseball? When I was two or three I think right away. I’ve always been a big sports fan growing up, I’ve always done basketball, baseball, football, everything. Baseball was probably my favorite growing up.
Why did you start playing baseball? I don’t know, my mom has videos of me just throwing stuff up from the earliest ages, like cubes and stuff and hitting them. I think that’s what made me wanna play. Also, my buddy Dan Douglas who went here, I grew up with him too, he and his brother were always just a big influence around me.
What other sports have you played? I messed around with golf for a little bit, I’m not as good as I once was. I pretty much do everything, just messing around with friends throwing a football around but organized sports it would be football, basketball, baseball were the main three.
What would you consider a successful season for you? Just kind of staying away from statistics because people get lost in those, it’s just more of being with everyone and kind of knowing each other as a team and playing as a team. Just being with your guys and being able to get along with them and everyone making friends with the freshmen and newcomers coming in and everything like that.
Where do you see yourself in five years? Hopefully in a management position at least a full-time position in a corporation somewhere. The main goal is to be in a management position by that time but that’s not really how things work but yeah just being somewhere successful being able to manage my own finances and everything like that and being able to have options with what I want to do.
What is your favorite part about playing baseball? I think just because it’s a kid’s game everything kind of rolls into that my favorite part would be kind of just messing around the whole time. It’s not as intense as basketball or football where you have to be in every play. If I’m at shortstop and we’re in between pitches I’m spacing out all the time and then the next pitch comes in and I have no idea. Yeah I’d say that’s my favorite part, how laid back it is, it’s an individual sport at some point where you’re hitting alone but you have to succeed as a team with all nine guys in order to be successful so I think that would be my favorite part is just being able to bring wins together.
If you could go travel in the world where would you go? My first travel would probably be Hungary, Budapest because I’m Hungarian.
Favorite color? It’s always been blue
Favorite food? Chicken wings
