Jason's journey in baseball began in his youth, fueled by a lifelong passion for the sport. As a Division 1 baseball player for the Manhattan College Jaspers, he showcased his talent and dedication on the field.

With a keen eye for detail and a relentless drive to improve, Jason developed the Swing-Shot, also known as the Hit Assist.
