2022 season in the books! From finally making it to the big leagues, to becoming a dad, the past 7 months has been special. Thank you to my wife, family, friends, and all
@redsox
fans for your support all season long!
Going undrafted hurts. Hard to accept that no one believed in you, but sooner you do the better. It’s important 1 person believes, & that’s you. Hug those who support you, pick your head up, & get to the grind. It’s time to go make a team-
All luv,
An undrafted free agent
Major League Baseball asked for the ability to eliminate hundreds of minor league playing jobs in its latest labor proposal, sources told ESPN. The league would not be allowed to implement the plan until after 2022.

Part of what makes baseball great is human error. That’s every sport though. Not a single umpire or referee gets every single call right all of the time and that’s okay. There’s value in a catchers ability to frame pitches. There’s value in umpires ability to consistently call…
Would like to thank Zack Kelly (
