POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

It’s hard to put into words what exactly this moment means to me. From the day I first picked up a ball and learned how to throw it, I’ve dreamt of getting the chance to become a pro ballplayer. Through 3 surgeries, 3 schools, and countless hours of rehab, I have learned more about myself as a man and a player every step of the way. Though many times my journey didn’t go the way I planned, I wouldn’t change any of it as it led me here, to a place many thought would never come. To all those who believed in me, supported me, and played a role in getting me here, you know who you are, and I can’t thank you enough. Not many people get a chance to live out their childhood dreams, and I am blessed beyond measure to today be one of them. Today I officially signed to take my baseball career across the world to play for Kotlarka Praha in Prague, Czech Republic. This next chapter in my career is one I’ve been waiting a long time for, and I can’t wait to get over there and get to work! 🇨🇿 🌍

I am VERY excited to announce that fellow Phillipines National Team player @paulo_mac has signed with @bleskbaseball in the Czech 🇨🇿 Extraliga.

This one is very special to me!! Helping out a Pinoy Brother hits home even more. I remember meeting Paulo in my second WBC and to see his growth up until now is amazing. The guy has worked his tail off moving to Japan, growing his game, picking up velocity and knowledge, and learning more about who he is as a pitcher. This guy is more than ready for an opportunity like this. @bleskbaseball your not only getting a quality arm but your more importantly getting a great human being.

It's a blessing to continue my journey of helping the next generation of ball players. @paulo_mac I cannot wait to see you do big things this year in what is just the beginning of a long international career. We will definitely be meeting up this summer and I can't wait to catch up with you brotha!!

THIS SIGNING ALSO MARKS THE 3RD SIGNING SINCE @worldbaseballtraveler & @baseballjobsoverseas HAVE PARTNERED UP. THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW MUCH I VALUE THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH @jimboslice38 & @ibc_burnsy , GREAT GUYS WHO SEE THE JOURNEY THROUGH THE SAME EYES. I CANT WAIT TO CONTINUE LEAVING OUR MARK ON THE GAME OF ⚾️ AND THE INTERNATIONAL 🌍 SCENE.

Preview time!!!! This is episode of conversation with Zo is about how baseball taught me the importance of setting goals. My identity was once all about baseball and once the game slipped away. I just never wanted to let baseball my entire life but I’ll talk about my journey more and how it went for me. Here’s a short clip full video on YouTube. Go check it out all the way from little league to the pros. #youtube #blogger #baseball⚾️ #sport #train #lovewins #newyork #explore #linkinbio

Baseball League Austria season openers were in action this weekend and one of four games to take place was a match up between the Attnang Athletics and the Hard Bulls, in front of approximately 200 fans in Hard. The games featured BBJO members Mike Varga (Athletics), Andreas Lastinger (Athletics), and Clayton Carson (Bulls).
Clayton and Andreas are both player-managers who live in Austria. Clayton’s story and how he came to live in Austria will be featured on the BBJO blog this week.

Two amazing years where I got the opportunity to play in severals countries, live amazing life experiences, meet amazing people, discover beautiful places, city and cultures.
I am so thankful to @ibc_burnsy the man who created all of this and all the BBJO’s staff.
