Stephen played four years of varsity baseball at Sage Creek where they won 2 CIF championships. He played freshman and sophomore year travel ball with Team California and my junior and senior year in scout ball with the Atlanta Braves scout team. As a senior he was named 2nd team All American and first team All State with 90 innings, 126 K’s and a 0.39ERA. Stephen was drafted in the 14th round by the Phillies but declined to take a full ride to Sacramento State. Due to covid he decided to come back home to play at Palomar.

In 2023, Stephen attended College of Southern Nevada where he was the closer. He pitched 13 innings --- striking out 16 and giving up only 3 earned run through the season. He was consistently clocked at 90-94 and has four effective pitches he can throw for strikes. His goal is to get to 97 and be as good as he can be. He played collegiate summer ball for the Bismarck Larks where I was a long reliever and had a couple starts as well. It was quite the experience given that there are thousands at every game and kids from all over came to watch us play and enjoy the festive feeling of summer baseball! In the Fall of 2023 --- Stephen received a full scholarship to University of Mary where I will be attending in the Winter / Spring 2024.

Stephen has experience coaching players at baseball camps at Sacramento State.  He also has years of experience working with travel ball players helping guide them as pitchers and his passion --- the mental side of the game.
