The product of the Baseball Academy of Canada, who studied with the Riverains at Marie-Rivier high school, plays mainly at first base. The 6-foot, 218-pound athlete, who stood out at the plate during an event recently organized by the Toronto Blue Jays baseball academy, can also play second base and third base.
