- What’s a hobby or talent you have that people wouldn’t expect from a baseball player? I used to wrestle and do Jiu Jitsu growing up. I stopped sophomore year of high school to focus on baseball, but it was something I definitely miss doing. I also enjoy making heated wood carvings with designs on them.
