In his senior year, he served as the Sun Devils’ Saturday starter and starting third baseman, finishing with a 7–2 record and 3.69 ERA.
Professionally, he signed with the Toros de Tijuana of the Mexican League, helping the team win a league championship in 2017. He was runner-up for Rookie of the Year and later played for two additional AAA-level Mexican League clubs before retiring in 2018.
