Quote From Titialii:
“It will only be for a short period of time as the season ends in early September, but I look forward to more opportunities that will emerge from this month. I’m thankful for Arizona Christian University, my teammates, coaches, family, and friends for helping me stay on track.  They developed my faith and believing in me through the years, especially in this transition period. This will not be my destination, but it’s a step towards it. I’m excited to officially begin my professional baseball career.”
