Central Illinois Jokers

@Isacchudd Great job this season!!

I had a great summer with the @CIJokers team! I made some amazing lifelong friendships. We won some championships and learned a lot! Huge thanks to the coaches for all their support and encouragement.

Came in to relief in championship game. Not the way I wanted to end the year but, crazy how far I’ve come this season, and even 3 weeks. Velo has jumped dramatically since the start. Class of 26. FB: 82-85 /CH: 70 /SL: 65 2 IP 4 K’s 0 H 3 BB 1 Run #uncommitted @FlatgroundApp
