0:02
Player comp for me would be Ella Cruz as
0:04
well. I mean, both around 6'5, 66,
0:07
really tall, quick on the infield. They
0:10
both got a lot of power. I I'm probably
0:12
not as fast as him. I think I can
0:13
definitely be as fast as him at some
0:14
point. That's like the biggest goal I
0:16
have is just to stay at short stuff for
0:17
as long as I can. I feel like I keep
0:20
putting the work, Angela, and keep
0:21
staying at that position for a long
0:23
time. I feel like I could definitely
0:24
play well as other players. talk a
0:26
little bit about your relationship with
0:27
your grandfather and how important he's
0:29
been to getting you to where you are
0:30
right now. Yeah, he's been probably the
0:32
most important person with the baseball
0:34
side for me. He's helped me basically
0:36
since I started playing baseball. He's
0:38
always coached me, taught me everything
0:39
I I really do now. And then I mean, he's
0:42
just been there from like basically the
0:44
beginning. So, it's always nice having
0:46
around. So, first I did go down to the
0:49
26 class. I'm originally like a 25
0:52
before that, but I went down because it
0:54
was during co. So, my grandpa, he he was
0:56
basically the main decision for that.
0:58
Just give me an extra year just to get
1:00
stronger uh and just to be more ready
1:02
for like the outside world. But I think
1:03
once I start playing, I mean, I was
1:05
playing against this class the whole
1:06
time as a 26. I was I realized like I
1:09
I'm pretty good. Like I could definitely
1:11
just stick with this class and be
1:13
playing the same way I am now. So, I
1:15
think that's what really helped me get
1:17
back to reclassing back up to this
1:19
class. I think it's really helped out a
1:20
lot. It did help a lot like just being
1:22
in the summer circuit like seeing all
1:23
the top players, prospects all around
1:25
the world. So, it's like I realized like
1:28
I'm good as these players. I could
1:30
definitely go back to my normal class
1:31
still be great. A lot of people say that
1:33
hitting just being getting ready for the
1:35
the different pitches, faster vo I mean
1:38
going from high school to pro ball,
1:39
you're not going to see or even college,
1:41
you're not going to see 85 80 every
1:44
game. You're going to see a lot more vo,
1:45
a lot more spin, better spin control.
1:47
So, it's just always being ready to go
1:49
hit at the next level. I try to address
1:51
it a lot more now, but I think like I
1:53
have seen it a lot in game. I think I am
1:55
getting better at it. I do a lot of work
1:56
just to like help with that. So, I think
1:59
I I mean there's still it's always going
2:01
to be there. I feel like they'll be
2:02
there for everyone, but like I try to
2:03
keep it like a good part of my workouts
2:05
like just making sure I I know what I
2:07
have like my play discipline, know what
2:08
pitches I should swing at, what I
2:10
shouldn't, know my pitches, what I know
2:12
I could crush. to just be ready for my
