Sims: My prep/training for baseball is going to the field at least 4-5 days a week to the batting cages and my dad hits me fly balls. Also I lift weights everyday to get stronger and faster.

Sims: What I’m most excited about this upcoming season is our team that we’re going to have this season because we have a lot of talent, and we have a chance to do big things like winning a state championship.

Sims: My personal goals for this season is to at least get 25-30 hits and 15-20 stolen bases.
