I mean the uniform I put on. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.200 I just try to represent where I come from. You 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:28.960 know what they say, play for the team on the 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:30.760 play for the for the team you have been from. 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.120 Or also you're representing your name in the back of 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.680 your jersey. So just super grateful every day and that's 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:36.960 how I try to like approach it. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.440 Can you tell me about your hometown, your homeland, where 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.800 you're from. I obviously I have never been to Venezuela. 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:44.440 I would love to know about it. 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.920 Okay, So geographically, if you have Venezuela in front of you, 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.640 I am on the most western state, which borders with Colombia, 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.480 and then I'm on like the city that's like on 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.000 on a lake, on a huge lake. I think it's 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.720 the largest lake lake atlant America. And it's particularly cool 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:02.480 because it connects with the Caribbean. So it's very very hot. 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.479 It's very hot, very warm, it's very flat, but it's 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.679 so culturally diverse, culturally rich, rich, so it's just a 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.280 really cool place and I have so many fun memories. Baseball. 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.880 It's the biggest sport back in Venezuela, so I grew 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.119 up playing baseball along some other sports. I play tennis, 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.400 I play volleyball. So but it's just there's the people 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.840 are just very warm, Like Latin culture is very warm. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.640 I'm very warm, very affectionate as it is. So that's 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.200 like one of the things I miss the most when 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:29.680 I go home. And then like I say, at my 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.600 grandma's house, I say that, like I sleep with in 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.600 her bunk bed. And it's just such a cool place 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:40.679 to be. And it's geographically located. I'm like four hours 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.000 away from the mountains, four hours away from the beach, 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.320 four hours away from like the big prairies, kind of 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.880 like our Midwest to say, like just flat like farmland. 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.600 So it's it's a really cool place that I try 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.000 to go back every single year. 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.680 What's the what's the flora and the fauna aspects of 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.680 that area? What do we got for animals and stuff? 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.040 What are you dealing with down there in Venezuela. Sure 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.080 we have the kapi Wata, like the biggest roading in 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.080 the world. It's originated to like the Amazon part of 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:08.320 like Venezuela. 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.720 Are we talking I don't know, like twenty pounds for 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:18.400 our roading, Hey, that's a twenty pound much big is roading? 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.240 But they're pretty cute. 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:22.360 He's got to hit it. You's got to hit it. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.880 That's gross. Are they dangerous or they're just big? They're 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.760 just there and they's just like a live stuffed animal. Yeah, 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.800 so they're just there. They're they're cute. 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.000 And it's a huge lake. Looking at a picture of 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.520 it right now, that is a giant lake. 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:36.760 I know. Wow. 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:37.320 Uh. 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.120 And you were talking about how everybody played baseball. That's 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.040 how it was when I was growing up here. Not 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.560 so much anymore, but was that a situation where everybody 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:46.720 met in the park and played baseball. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.280 Everybody everybody like so cool. I grew up playing baseball 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.839 with the people I went to school with, like my neighbors, 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.120 and it was just playing baseball like either on the 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.040 field or we used to go to these banks that 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:00.760 had a huge part in love, and we used to 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.400 go and we used to play baseball with our hands. 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.880 So we would just like either grab tennis balls or 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.640 like a much softer like cross ball and hit it 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.680 with our hands. And we used to play like two 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.320 bases like baseball, so it was only two bases and 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.360 you would play like that, or we would play with 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.240 bottle caps you threw the bottle caps and hit it 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.480 with a broomstick, So like God, so pretty cool. Rules 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.440 Like if the catcher caught it without you swinging, it 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.080 didn't matter where he caught, it would be a strike. 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.200 But if you swing amazon the catcher catches it, then 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.040 it's a strikeout. Then you want to speed up the game, 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:29.640 and you would play up to like three innings and 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:31.680 it was just a fun time. So everything is like 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.520 baseball related. You're always moving, you're always making a swing motion, 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.520 you're always doing like a throwing motion. So baseball's just 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.480 a huge bar. And now that I'm able to fortunately 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.440 be in the situation, I mean, it's just really cool 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.320 to like go back and like look back to like 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.439 the status I used to play when I was little, 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.400 and see how how much of the passion is still 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:53.280 growing down there. 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:55.880 Learning with a bottle cap should make it feel like 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:57.959 a baseball is the size of a beach ball. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.720 At baseball with that bad after that, it's like hitting 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.280 with the church's door. Yeah, you're hitting a beach with 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.360 the church's door. That thing is just massive. But my 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.360 dad also used to throw beans, like black beans or 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.480 like any kind stuff like that. He would like throw 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.040 that to me in the backyard is just like we 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:15.839 gotta train your eye. We gotta train your eyes. It 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:17.720 didn't work because I have to wear contact the house. 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:19.719 Maybe maybe I was just focusing so much on heat 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.040 of the beans that my eyes got all messed up. 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.000 But it was just a lot of baseball, which is fun, damn. 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.160 And you you hit left handed and throw right handed 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:29.600 the other way around? Which one is it? 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.080 I throw riety? He had left and I heavy living 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.000 hits in the big leags, right, we can't. I have 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.040 to mention that. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah, that stat ready 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.920 to go right, one hundred and thirty one batting average. 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.760 When did you realize you could pitch like you can? 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.959 They made me. Yeah, I wanted to. I wanted to 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.800 be a position player because I like to hit. I 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.199 like to, you know, shag baseballs in the outfield. But 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.120 when I was trying out, I was just very slow. 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.240 So when I was fourteen fifteen, I was still very 0:10:58.240 --> 0:10:59.760 good at baseball for that age, but I was just 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.320 very slow. But I gave it a try. So my 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.000 dad took me to track and feel less. And so 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.160 when I make it there, the track and field Coach's like, 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:08.840 let me see your form and I do my phone. 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.800 It's like, well, the good thing is your form sucks, 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.000 so we can get you better. We can bet you faster. 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.320 So I ran the sixty sixty yard ash and I 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.559 was like a seven point six, which is super slow. 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.360 So within a few months he got me down to 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.720 like a seventh flat. But then my fifteen year old me, 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.160 I was playing a Picico game and I'd play hard 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:30.920 and I was leading to home plane. I broke my 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.439 ankle because I crashed with a catcher. So by the 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.880 time I came back, I was back to my seven 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.400 point six. And it was October of twenty eleven and 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:44.760 my signing period was July twenty twelve. So I was 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.160 super slow, but the arm was still there. So a 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.439 couple of scouts were like they invited me to a tryout, 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.400 making me think I was gonna go as an outfield. 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:53.440 They were like, why don't you just get on the 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.560 mound real quick? And I'm like, sure, why not? Then 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.800 I started like getting on the mound, and I started 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.760 like creeping up every time I got on the mount, 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.920 until like I finally made the transition, and I didn't 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.480 want to. I honestly didn't want to. But then I 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.120 knew like I was running out of time and the 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.000 windows to sign are super short, like as an international 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.480 free agent. So my dad convinced me, like, just like, 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.680 let's just take the opportunity. Let's get in the business, 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.760 like getting the into the into Pro Bowl. And after that, 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.640 if for whatever reason you try to like make a 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:26.280 switch or like we can persuade someone to make make 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.920 a position player. Never happened. I sucked a pitching, but 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.839 I started developing that love for it, and I mean 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:32.480 here I am. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:32.720 Now. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.680 Wow, and you signed with the marriage at sixteen?
