0:02
Yeah, I've definitely gained a couple
0:04
pounds, gained a little more knowledge,
0:06
changed some things in my swing, but you
0:08
know, my mindset hasn't changed. I was
0:10
at States play with some of the top
0:12
players, and you know, a lot of those
0:13
players are here now. So, I'm just
0:14
picking their brains, they're picking my
0:16
brains, and, you know, it's just a
0:18
blessing to be here 100%. Just to build
0:20
those uh those connections and make
0:22
those friendships are huge. you know,
0:23
I'm I'm friends with Ethan Holidayiday,
0:25
you know, Quinton Young, some of the top
0:27
draft picks, and I'm going to keep those
0:28
friendships as we go on, and I'm going
0:29
to see those guys, you know, through the
0:31
minor leagues and hopefully the big
0:33
leagues. So, making those friendships
0:34
are huge for me. It's it's huge, you
0:36
know, to meet guys like Dale Matthews,
0:38
Tony Riggs is huge. I just talked to
0:39
Dell and we didn't only talk about uh
0:41
baseball, we talked about college, how
0:43
his son is doing. So, just to build
0:44
those connections beyond baseball is
0:46
huge for me. Yeah. I just keep the main
0:48
thing the main thing. I I just want to
0:49
play baseball. I want to make it to the
0:51
highest level as possible. And at the
0:53
end of the day, I want to be a legend
0:55
one day. And the social media is not
0:56
going to take me there. Working hard and
0:58
keeping the main thing, the main thing
0:59
is going to get me there. I'm
1:00
definitely, first of all, I'm going to
1:01
take the friendships that I made. I've
1:03
been with a lot of those dudes since
1:04
freshman year, and I'm just going to
1:07
take the the ups and downs that I went
1:08
through. I'm not only going to take the
1:10
goods, but the bads. Um, I'm going to
1:11
learn from them and make sure in the in
1:13
the future I can learn from them and
1:16
know how to cope with them the right
1:17
way. First of all, I just want them to
1:19
know that I'm a good a good person. not
1:20
only good baseball player, but a good
1:22
person. And I also want them to know
1:23
that I'm a hard worker on and off the
1:25
field. So, if they're going to get me,
1:26
they're going to get a hard worker, a
1:28
good person, and somebody who's going
1:30
to, you know, be worth the money. Uh
1:32
Cedric Mullins, I've got Cedric Mullins
1:34
a lot. He's a lefty lefty like me, about
1:36
510, center fielder, and I just love the
1:38
way he plays. He doesn't try to hit home
1:40
runs, but he just works gap to gap, and
1:42
sometimes he gets a hold of ones and
1:44
shows his power. So that's the player I
