0:01
just seeing so many great players in the
0:03
locker room. I mean, you know, you look
0:04
around Bobby Whit, Aaron Judge. I mean,
0:07
you know, two amazing players. And, uh,
0:10
I I like getting to talk to the
0:11
pitchers, too. Being a catcher, you
0:13
know, it'll be fun catching, you know,
0:15
scubable. Uh, obviously starting the
0:16
game. After that, you're not sure who
0:18
you're going to catch. Um, but, um,
0:20
it'll be kind of cool just to talk to
0:21
them about, you know, you know, pitches,
0:24
where where they want me to set up,
0:26
locating. So, it'll be it'll be kind of
0:28
cool to pick the reigns a little bit.
0:29
You know, obviously you have confidence
0:32
as a baseball player. Thank you. And you
0:34
know, you believe in yourself, but you
0:36
know, to be where I'm at right now, uh
0:39
it is kind of like a pinch me kind of
0:40
moment. Like kind of crazy, you know,
0:42
where I'm at, but I'm just going to try
0:44
to take advantage of this opportunity
0:45
and, you know, keep the blinders on and
0:47
keep going. And hopefully at the end of
0:49
the day, you know, I'll be where I want
0:50
to be and uh, you know, hopefully our
0:53
team will be where we want to be as
0:55
well. It comes down to just winning one
0:57
pitch at a time and worrying about the
0:59
team first and and the rest will take
1:01
care of itself. You know, it's um if
1:03
it's meant to be, it's meant to be. If
1:04
it's not, it's not. Um you know, but we
1:07
still have a long way to go. You know,
1:08
we got some some bigger fish to fry in
1:10
the sense of, you know, we got to get to
1:11
the playoffs. We got things like do like
1:13
that. Obviously, all this is great and
1:15
you know, it's it's what you want as a
1:17
player and it's good intention, but same
1:19
time, you got to put it in perspective
1:20
and and just make sure you're putting
1:22
your priorities, you know, in the right
1:24
order. I think just me growing as a
1:26
baseball player over time, learning what
1:28
works for me, what doesn't work for me,
1:30
how to approach different pitchers, you
1:32
know, what to look for, what not to look
1:34
for. Uh Justin Turner was a big help for
1:36
me. Um, you know, he was a mentor to me
1:39
last year and, uh, somebody I could lean
1:41
on and talk to about that stuff. worked
1:43
with him in the offseason a little bit
1:44
and and uh you know just on top of you
1:48
know obviously growing as a player and
1:50
you know understanding the league and
1:51
understanding what I need to do to be
1:53
successful and and you know it's not
1:55
always about you know the physical
1:56
stuff. It's a lot of it's about, you
1:57
know, the mental capacity and, uh, you
2:00
know, making sure you stay with the same
2:01
approach, you're not changing everything
2:03
every day and and just trusting your
