Big league clubs give a player worth millions a staff, a plan, and an honest read on where he stands. We think a hitter in Bakersfield deserves the same seriousness.
I played at Bakersfield College and Chico State, then professionally in Mexico with the Guerreros de Oaxaca and in independent ball.
Up there I learned that talent wasn't what separated players. The people and the infrastructure around them were, with real organizations running development every day.
That kind of place existed for kids in other cities. Not here. So I built it.
