The comp for me is hard because it's
0:05
there's so many different things that
0:06
you each do about every player. But I
0:09
like to wa like I said earlier Kareah I
0:12
like to watch I like to think that like
0:14
I have similar movement, similar pop.
0:16
He's obviously a little bit bigger than
0:18
me but I like to watch him play. Yeah, I
0:21
think Trey Turner I think that you know
0:24
we do a lot of things similarly. Uh good
0:26
runners. Um, good bats of ball with some
0:28
sneaky sneaky power. Yeah. Well, I mean
0:31
Christmases, Thanksgiving,
0:33
uh, every now and then just dinners,
0:35
like always competitive. It was always,
0:38
it was always my dad, me, and my older
0:40
brother against his dad, him, and his
0:42
younger brother. Threeon-ree, whatever.
0:44
It didn't matter. Sport, basketball,
0:46
football, whiffle ball, it didn't
0:48
matter. Anything that you can compete
0:49
in, we did it. So it was it was you had
0:52
you had about 15 20 minutes once you got
0:54
to the house, you know, all you know,
0:56
good to see you guys, but then, you
0:57
know, after that it was all competition.
0:59
I mean, it was pretty even. We had the
1:01
advantage just cuz my brother's older
1:02
than Yeah. us at a time. So he was
1:05
always more a little more advanced than
1:07
the rest of us. But yeah, once he moved
1:09
down, we played once together when we
1:11
were younger, but then we played against
1:14
each other at my high school and then
1:17
we've played against each other both my
1:21
our freshman summer and then our
1:22
sophomore summer. Once in the Cape and
1:24
then once in the futures league. Yep.
1:26
And I and I was reading in high school,
1:29
Alex's team won, but you came in and
1:31
pitched. I did. Got Alex out. Tell us.
1:34
Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, they blew us
1:36
out. It was it wasn't a really a
1:37
competitive game, but um I came in to
1:39
throw and I guess it was only for like
1:40
the last inning, but it was because Alex
1:42
was coming up and you I hit a ground
1:45
ball to the third baseman and he booted
1:47
it. Yeah. So I call it an out. It's an
1:48
out. Oh, it was for sure an out. Like it
1:50
was an air. It was an out. It's honestly
1:52
really special. I mean, we talked to
1:54
each other about different pitchers,
1:56
approaches, swing, really whatever it
1:58
was. like we could feel comfortable with
2:01
each other enough to where whatever was
2:04
going on, we could ask each other, talk
2:06
to each other, help each other out.
2:08
Yeah. I mean, there was a lot of times
2:09
during the year where we just, you know,
2:11
immediately after a game, we talk to
2:12
each other like bad game, good game,
2:14
whatever it is, and just, you know, pick
2:15
each other's minds apart. And it's just
2:16
it's it's really unique having someone
2:18
that's, you know, playing in the exact
2:20
same position you are and as being
2:23
obviously first cousins, you know, just
2:25
to be able to have that connection and
2:26
have those conversations. Yeah, it
2:28
happened. I mean, it happened every time
2:29
that if he had played a team before us,
2:31
then I'd call him like when they played
2:33
Louisville, like two weeks later, we
2:34
played Louisville, so I called him and
2:36
asked him and then, you know, vice
2:37
versa, I'm sure. Yeah, it seemed like we
2:39
played a lot of teams. It seems like I
2:41
played a lot of teams like literally a
2:43
week or so before him. Clemson, Notre
2:46
Dame, he went the week before we did.
2:48
So, I was just really underrecruited out
2:50
of high school and it came down to I
2:52
just wanted to go somewhere I would
2:53
play. And so, that ended up at uh
2:54
Augustine University. And so he entered
2:57
the portal after his freshman year was
2:59
crazy freshman year. So, you know, when
3:00
I decided I was going to enter the
3:01
portal after my sophomore year, I kind
3:03
of talked to him because he had just
3:04
gone through that process and it was
3:05
super helpful. It helped me, you know,
3:07
navigate the entire thing. Yeah. And I
3:09
was pretty similar like I wasn't very
3:11
recruited out of high school either. I
3:12
had one offer and it was University of
3:15
North Florida um small mid- major and it
3:19
honestly was the best thing for me to go
3:21
somewhere and play and play 50s
3:23
something games and get the experience
3:25
in. Yeah, JD sent me a long text a few
3:28
nights ago to congratulate me and it
3:30
it's it's honestly awesome to be hearing
3:32
from those guys and to be put in the
3:34
same a similar category as those two
3:37
like it's insane to think about. It's a
3:39
very good possibility. I mean, there's,
3:41
you know, I think five, six teams that,
3:43
you know, he's had workouts for and met
3:45
with. So, you know, it it honestly be
3:46
surreal to see three LOD's all related,
3:49
obviously, you know, come off the board
3:50
at shortstop, too. Yeah.
