What is your go-to pump-up song?

Anything rock, i love some old Nickelback.

If you could meet any athlete (past or present) who would it be any why?

My family is my best friends and that i am actually super organized, hate to be dirty.

Getting to play baseball with both of my brothers for 2 years in high school. It's a different feeling that is unexplainable.

My Brothers. We all fell in love with baseball. The amount of hours i have spent playing wiffleball or in the basement with them, it was always doing something with them and a ball.
