The first baseman is the Division I era leader in runs (127), hits (198), doubles (39), and RBI (138). In the field, the four-year player recorded 1,329 putouts and 76 assists, as well.

The Medford, MA native was named to the 2016 America East All-Rookie Team and earned a spot on the Second Team in 2018, and helped UMass-Lowell to the program’s first two Division I postseason appearances in 2018 and 2019.
