I love our punter talking shite

He's actually like 30

He's in his late 20s and yeah he played ball

Could you imagine the amount of puasy he probably gets

He may be a millionaire



Q&A with him back in the day

What was it like to be drafted? What were you doing when you found out the Pirates selected you?

Being Drafted was truly a dream come true and I was actually on the phone with another team at the time I found out the Pirates had drafted me!


Before the draft it looked as if you were going to head to LSU to play baseball. Was it hard to pass up the experience of playing College baseball, especially at such a top program like LSU?

It was by far the hardest decision I have made in my life to date. Growing up in Louisiana every kid wants to play baseball at LSU. My ultimate goal is to play in the major leagues and I felt that the Pirates are giving me a great opportunity to do that and that is what convinced me to sign professionally.
How/What did the Pirates do to convince you to sign with them and forgo playing at LSU?

They really did not put too much pressure on me. If there was any pressure I put it on myself. I did make a trip to Pittsburgh before I signed and that did help with the decision but they ultimately left the decision up to me. They knew that I was either going all in for the Pirates organization or all in for LSU.

Who has been the toughest hitter you have faced in your pro-career?

The best hitter I have faced in my career is Jimmy Rollins. Even though technically it did not count because it was extended spring and he was rehabbing. Every at bat was a battle.
Playing for the West Virginia Power for a full season you got to experience “The Toast Man” on a regular basis. Any stories or thoughts on getting to experience such a unique fan?

I would've done the same

Proof to your statement?

Don't see it but ookie dookie

Zach is a super competitor, LSU needs players like that who get everyone juiced up, notice the way he was jacked up after that important punt inside the 10. That rubs off on the players. A big time ball player from Zachary

If he invested that wisely. With the paltry salary you make in Single A, you have to stretch that $1.2mm pretty far. That's 8 years. Not saying he blew it, but I'm not sure that he's living like a king.
