I was known for one thing......
HITTING!
But that wasn't always the case....
See, My Junior Year in High School, I finished the season with a .180 batting average...
That summer, I met a gentleman named Frank Gregory. He told me he could help teach me how to hit, and coming off a season of hitting .180, I had nothing to lose so I took him up on his offer.
First day together, he introduced me to this weird looking training bat that I have never even seen before, but he insisted that I use it, so I agreed.
We worked together in the cages for 2 weeks leading up to my first summer ball game...
So the day has come for my first summer ball game. I am excited to put my new swing to the test...
First at bat, I am facing a lefty on the mound...
He throws me a two-seamer that cuts right back over the middle of the plate. I swing as hard as I can and.....
BOOM!!!! I hit a homerun out to left center...
It was at that exact moment, I had my epiphany...
Just two weeks after I started working with Frank using this new training bat and I just hit my first homerun of my high school career...
I knew if I wanted to continue playing in college, I needed to commit to this process.
Fast forward 3 short years later, and I was elected a Division 1 All-American...
Crazy, Right...?
I went from a .180 hitter to a Division 1 All-American in just 3 seasons...
