0:02
I think um some leadership. I think uh
0:06
yeah, I don't know. I I feel like where
0:08
I go, we kind of win and I feel like I
0:10
kind of bring winning culture to a team.
0:11
So yeah, I don't know. I think just the
0:13
way our bodies move, I think if you kind
0:16
of saw me hit a little bit, I think you
0:17
would kind of say that our bodies are a
0:19
little bit similar. I think that's
0:20
pretty much just the main reason. But um
0:23
yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'm
0:25
still going to stick with Tatis. I think
0:26
that I could I could uh be that kind of
0:28
player for a team. And um I think that
0:30
in a few years I think I'll I could be
0:33
just as good as him. So I think you
0:34
could even say him with a little bit
0:36
better of a glove. So I think I'm a
0:37
really good defender. I think that's
0:39
kind of like my strongest suit. But I
0:41
think each year I've been really making
0:43
huge uh leaps and strides on my on my
0:47
offensive side. So I think that I think
0:49
there's 30 homers there in the big
0:51
league. So yeah, I was probably like 6
0:53
years old. um little league. Um yeah,
0:56
just I remember being like I was the
0:58
pitcher, like it was pitching machine
0:59
and I was a pitcher and they would all
1:00
just kind of hit it to me. So after
1:02
that, I kind of just fell in love with
1:03
the game. Super happy people noticed and
1:06
um yeah, just super blessed to to be in
1:08
the position I'm in and a lot of hard
1:10
work has gone behind the scenes. So
1:11
yeah. Yeah, a lot of tireless work in
1:14
the cage for sure. I mean that's I
1:16
wanted to prove some people wrong. I
1:18
they had questions about the the bat and
1:20
I wanted to answer them. I mean, someone
1:22
tells you you can't do something, you
1:23
really want to do it. So, that was kind
1:25
of the mentality going into the spring.
1:26
The power was there, I think, in
1:28
practice, but I think the the biggest
1:29
thing was kind of making the power show
1:31
up in the game. So, I think that was
1:33
kind of the one of the questions I
1:35
wanted to answer, and I think I did a
1:36
pretty good job of that. Last year, I
1:38
was really, if you asked me that same
1:39
question, I'd probably say I I would
1:40
miss it. But, uh, yeah. No, junior
1:43
junior year, I I felt like it was really
1:44
good because I was focusing on it a lot
1:46
more. But, this last year, I wanted to
1:47
just really focus on being the best
1:49
shortstop I could be and best hitter. So
1:50
yeah, the the love for pitching kind of
1:52
died off a little bit. Yeah, it was
1:54
super awesome just learning from those
1:56
guys and just kind of going through the
1:57
same process. We're all kind of doing
1:59
the same thing, so we can all kind of
2:00
relate to each other. But no, yeah, as
2:02
far as a target on our back, um I think
2:04
we kind of like that. We kind of
2:05
embraced that and we were kind of going
2:07
hard at everyone and we kind of like
2:10
that extra pressure. episodes. It was
