The first pitch 11 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: is brought to us exclusively by our partners at Pars Casino, Pennsylvania's. 12 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: Number one casino. 13 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: Jim. Some local ties in Game five. You have Boyer 14 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: Towns Trey Savage. Twelve strikeouts, no walks. This absolutely dominates 15 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. We have South Jersey's Davis Schneider. It's the 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: first pitch, leadoff home run off the Blue Jays. I 17 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: jumped off my couch when I saw leave the bad 18 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: I'm like. 19 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 3: Oh my god, I couldn't believe it. 20 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: It was. 21 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: It's been a lot of local ties in this series, 22 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: and it's been It's been a great World Series to 23 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: watch so far. 24 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 4: It's been very entertaining. And the manager of the Blue 25 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 4: Jays is a local guy. I think he's kind of 26 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 4: like Central Jersey or almost South Jersey. But he played 27 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 4: at University of Delaware. I actually saw him play at 28 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 4: the University of Delaware. He was a teammate of Vince Vukovic. 29 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 4: And I'm impressed with him. At John Schneider as a manager, 30 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 4: I just you know, looking at Kenny Rosenthal interview him 31 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 4: during the game. It's a very composed guy, John Schneider, 32 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 4: so I'm sure he exudes that type of leadership. 33 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 3: And that team that's a tough team. 34 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 5: Man. 35 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 4: They you know, they bounce back from that really difficult 36 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 4: eighteen inning loss, and they come out and they just 37 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 4: lay lay it on Blake Snell really early, and you're 38 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 4: right when Schneider with the home run, and then this 39 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 4: kind of this whole postseason has been you know, I 40 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 4: don't want to say Vlad Guerrero's you know entry, it's 41 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 4: like a lot a lot of people are just you know, 42 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 4: getting a really good look at what a just great, 43 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 4: great talent Vlad Guerrero is.

You guys had some interaction 169 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 4: over the years. 170 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 171 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 8: No, it was a funny story. 172 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 9: He met my dad when he was with the Raptors 173 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 9: and he wanted to use the Raptors workout facility in 174 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 9: the off season one time and he ran to my 175 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 9: dad and ever since then, I've known him since I 176 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 9: was a little kid, like even prior to memories, like 177 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 9: I've known my whole life. 178 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 4: What a player, What a player. Maybe someday you'll go 179 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 4: to his induction in Cooperstown. I think he's probably headed there. 180 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, No, doubt, and it was great just to 181 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 9: hear what like the way he works, what he's done, 182 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 9: his like his progression, just everything. 183 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 8: He's been a great help. 184 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 4: Now, you mentioned your dad was with the Raptors. Just 185 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 4: give us a little snapshot of your family's athletic background, 186 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 4: because your dad is a coach in the NBA. H 187 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 4: So you have a basketball background, baseball background. Take us 188 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 4: through just a little bit of that. 189 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 9: So my dad he actually played baseball Indiana all four 190 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 9: years and ended up coaching there one year after he's 191 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 9: done playing. And I still know the whole full story 192 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 9: about how he got into the basketball, and he's still 193 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 9: confusing me till this day. But now he was Indiana, 194 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 9: his brother Brady was at Miami of Ohio, and then 195 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 9: his dad, Fred Norrie. 196 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 8: Was made Triple A with the Mets. 197 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 9: So basically just full blown baseball bloodline from that side. 198 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 4: Okay. 199 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 1: And then obviously, you know you've talked about this a 200 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: lot that that's how you know Kyle Schwarber. You would 201 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: go to Indiana baseball games, right and yeah, with your 202 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: grandpa and your dad and got to know Kyle Shwarber 203 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: a little bit. 204 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: What was it? 205 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: Oh? You know, and I want to ask you this 206 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: last winter, you hit with him. 207 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: Right back in Ohio. You spent a week.

This was the first 214 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 9: time he has house all built and got to use 215 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 9: that facility. So no, we'll definitely head down there sometime 216 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 9: this offseason and get back together our head. 217 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 8: For sure. 218 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 4: What a guy to have is a I don't know, 219 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 4: would you call him a mentor. 220 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, no, for sure, Like just watching the way he works, 221 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 9: like some of the drills he does, the way he 222 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 9: thinks about hitting. I know, it's two different game types. 223 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 9: His is a long ball, mine's on base for stealing bag. 224 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 9: So but just getting what he takes, what his mental side, 225 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 9: and what he thinks of the game. Definitely, I'd say 226 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 9: he's towards the me. 227 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, anything, go ahead, Jim, I was gonna say, in 228 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 4: the hell of a person. And we've gotten to know 229 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 4: him pretty well here last four years in Philadelphia, and uh, 230 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 4: just really a giant of a man. Just tell us 231 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 4: a little bit about his work ethic and maybe some 232 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 4: of the subtleties that you pick up watching him work 233 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 4: out and you know, participating in his workouts the last 234 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 4: few years. 235 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 9: You know it's worth that worth ethic is unmatched, you know, 236 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 9: just just watching the way he does, Like he puts 237 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 9: it down for a little bit after season. You know, 238 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 9: it's one hundred and sixty some games, so definitely puts 239 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 9: it down. But as soon as he picks back up, 240 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 9: it's full go, and he's stuff every single day. And 241 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 9: his hitting guy is Cappy another guy, great guy. But 242 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 9: once he gets going, it's just full going. He works 243 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 9: on some new stuff every single day. It's just like 244 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 9: a build up like we do. Like he'll start like 245 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 9: he'll mainly just go tee flips to start, and then 246 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 9: he'll start going machine and he stuff on machine you 247 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 9: don't see in the game, just working on that. 248 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 8: So his ethic is unmatched.

How does it differ from you know, the 337 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 4: traditional bat, and was it an adjustment for you? 338 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 9: So basically just it's basically taking a barrel where it's 339 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 9: at and moving it down closer and putting more wood. 340 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 8: In that area. 341 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 9: Like even when you look at the bat, you're like, damn, 342 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 9: like there's more wood. 343 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 8: On that bat than you'd see. Like it looks a 344 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 8: little different. 345 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 9: Mine's not as dramatic as some of the Yankees guys 346 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 9: were using. It's more of a subtle one, but you 347 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 9: definitely can tell just adds even more weight, Like I 348 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 9: just want to drop three my whole life, and then 349 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 9: that's a drop one and a half. 350 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 8: But it was it wasn't, honestly that big of adjustment. 351 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 9: I remember I got two in the mail to try, 352 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 9: and I used the MVP that day and then went 353 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 9: on field and I was like, no, I really liked 354 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 9: somebody using the game. 355 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 8: And I went to the game right away and haven't 356 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 8: looked back since. 357 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 4: So you're hooked. 358 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I'm hooked on it. I love them. 359 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: So you can you could tell the first round of 360 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: BP that it was different. 361 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 2: I mean that is that it? 362 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 8: I mean you could tell, oh yeah, I knew it 363 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 8: was gonna fit my swing well. 364 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 9: Even though I was hitting the ball like and VP, 365 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 9: I was like like those ones like maybe you hit 366 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 9: a little towards the hands every once in a while, 367 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 9: you still get good feedback on the balls going. You're like, okay, 368 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 9: so now I can turn those those balls. I mishit 369 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 9: a little bit, and now it's on the barrel more 370 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 9: so you get more out of it. 371 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 2: And you said you moved closer to the player, moved up. 372 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 8: In the box closer to a plate. 373 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 9: Stay over the back of the box, always been there, 374 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 9: but move closer on the plate. 375 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 2: Okay, And when did you make that adjustment? 376 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 8: I think it was a mile. It was early May, 377 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 8: is why I made the adjustment. 378 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 2: Okay. 379 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 4: Obviously, first round pick of the Phillies, that's a great honor. 380 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 4: Where was your college. 381 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 8: Commitment Mississippi State. I was committed to Lamnas and Cheese 382 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 8: and all them. Yeah. 383 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 4: So, but I'm sure when you get drafted in the 384 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 4: first round, I mean it's like, I'm going, is that 385 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 4: kind of what it is? 386 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, that's definitely what was. 387 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 9: You know, we sat down, We're like we're looking at 388 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 9: it like, hey, we have our picks end out like 389 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 9: if it was going to be between these picks, hey, 390 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 9: we're going to go. And they were full understanding, especially 391 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 9: after the first round. They knew like, hey, you got 392 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 9: to take that for sure. 393 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 4: Now you play high school ball in Michigan, it's a 394 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 4: it's a cold weather region, and then you get into 395 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 4: pro ball. How much of it just a jump in 396 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 4: talents and competition? Is it from cold weather high school 397 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 4: baseball to pro ball? Or is that jump less because 398 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 4: you guys play such elite competition and travel ball these days. 399 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 9: I'd say the biggest adjustment was mainly, I mean, you 400 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 9: go from seven to nine innings. Of course you switched 401 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 9: to what bats like you got, but that was nothing 402 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 9: that you didn't use in the summer. And also in 403 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 9: the summer you face arms like William Schmidt he's at LSU. 404 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 9: You face Joey Oki, like a bunch of other guys 405 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 9: that you know they have really good stuff. But you 406 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 9: go straight from the high school season the pro ball, 407 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 9: like curve balls aren't really curving, slider's not't really slying 408 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 9: that much. You know, you're seeing like seventy two mile 409 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 9: hours breaking balls, and all of a sudden you get 410 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 9: here and you're hearing of pitches you've never even seen. 411 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 8: You're seeing breaking you're seeing breaking points. 412 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 9: You're seeing all this stuff and just picking up on that, 413 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 9: like in the eyes adjusted. I'd say that was the 414 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 9: biggest adjustment, just basically, like the auspeeds are going to 415 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 9: do way more. 416 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 4: Now, and I would think you're really pleased your first 417 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 4: full season of pro ball, you played at three levels 418 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 4: and you've got a little taste of double A at 419 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 4: the end, right, I mean, that's that's and you played 420 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty five games with the Phillies a 421 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 4: bunch more in Arizona. Uh, that's a that's a big 422 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 4: junk from high school too. Just the schedule and then 423 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 4: and then you know, traversing three levels. You must be 424 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 4: pleased with where you're at after you know, one full 425 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 4: season in pro ball. 426 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 8: Yeah. No, I was very pleased. 427 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 9: Like you look back, you absolutely take that for your 428 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 9: first bit, just that first year just getting comfortable, and 429 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 9: now you're really comfortable with the organization, you're really comfortable 430 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 9: what you're doing, and now you're just looking forward to 431 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 9: the next couple of years. 432 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 8: No, I was very satisfied with it. 433 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 2: You know, you you you don't strike out much. 434 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: You walk a lot, you get on base, you steal 435 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: a lot of bags. Is that something that you've always 436 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: had a knack for doing? I mean, is it just 437 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: like a god given ability to put the ball in play, 438 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: to have a good sense of the strike zone, or 439 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: is that something that you have like a you know, 440 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can work on that or not. 441 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 8: No, my grandpa was a big, big person. 442 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 9: He's like, you don't strike out, it's the worst thing 443 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 9: in baseball, and I've learned it sucks like get you 444 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 9: don't give yourself a chance. And my grandpa hounded on 445 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 9: that since day one, and mainly it helped with always 446 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 9: thinking backside. I was always giving the ability to take 447 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 9: the ball the ops field, no matter where the pitch was, 448 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 9: and that's also worked my favorite to fight stuff off. 449 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 9: But no, definitely the low strikeout, the high walk like 450 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 9: that's always been a part of my game and now 451 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 9: we're just developing to get more slug out of it. 452 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: So as your grandpa would give you a hard time 453 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: if you even maybe saw a high school game and 454 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: saw you strike out once or twice. 455 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 9: Oh no, he's yeah, no, he gave me such a 456 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 9: hard time. 457 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 8: I think there wasn't many of my last year. 458 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 9: I think it was like, I think almost just ten 459 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 9: strikeouts my last senior year, and I heard every bit 460 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 9: of those ten just like you know. 461 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 8: So, No, he's big. 462 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 9: He's big on putting the ball play, make the defense, 463 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 9: make a play, like put some pressure on them. 464 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 2: And you do that on the basis too. 465 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 1: I think would you steal fifty two bags this season? 466 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: I think it was like the second most in the organization. 467 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 8: Yeah, it was like fifty two, fifty yeah. 468 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: Fifty two, And so what's that process, like, you know, 469 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: in terms of becoming not just a good base stealer, 470 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: knowing when to run, you know, knowing the count. Maybe 471 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: picking up tendencies is that do you have a knack 472 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: for that as well? Like picking up a pitcher's first move. 473 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: I mean, how does that all come into play? 474 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 9: Definitely you start to pick up tendencies. You know, high school, 475 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 9: you could pick off as much as you wanted. There 476 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 9: was no pitch clock, Like you got a dudes picking 477 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 9: off six times when you go on first base. And 478 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 9: now with the three limit, basically they got two chances 479 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 9: and the third one they better get you. 480 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 8: That's all I've learned. And he got the bigger. 481 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 9: Bases that helps too, But definitely picking into the counts, 482 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 9: picking up some tendencies. You know, you got all this 483 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 9: film now, all what you look at like, it's everything's 484 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 9: on compere now, So going into the game, you have 485 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 9: a great feel and just the tendencies. Yeah, and then 486 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 9: once they pick over twice that's basically the green light. 487 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 2: Do they tell you to be aggressive? 488 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: Like, like, what's what's your mentality once you get on 489 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: the base, or they're like Dante, like if you can go, go, 490 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: we want you to go steal as much as you can. 491 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: We want you to get confident in doing it, because 492 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: that's a big part of base stealing. From what I've 493 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: heard from players is you know the guys that love 494 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: the steal. That's that's a huge part of it. 495 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 496 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 9: No, they basically since I got there, like, hey, you 497 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 9: going on first, you got the green light. Otherwise, if 498 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 9: we shut it down, we give you something that shuts 499 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 9: it down, you got the green light again, scoring position, 500 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 9: let's go. 501 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 4: I wonder if that's like a focus organization wide in 502 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 4: the Phillies organization, because you know, Aiden Miller this year 503 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 4: had fifty nine steals. Justin Crawford had forty six steals. 504 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 4: You had fifty two steals. I mean wow, that's like, 505 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 4: I mean, this is way before your time. But it 506 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 4: feels like Saint Louis Cardinals of the eighties. I mean, 507 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 4: it's great to see the stolen base and all that 508 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 4: excitement on the basis they do they do they preach 509 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 4: it in the system. 510 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, no, we work on base running every single 511 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 9: day at the point where like it's like the back 512 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 9: of your hand Like it's literally every single day we're 513 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 9: out there spring training, you got thirty minutes of base 514 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 9: running before like twice a week during the season, you 515 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 9: got base rank. 516 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 8: It's very focused on in the Phillies organization. 517 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 4: That's awesome. And what do you see as your best 518 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 4: position in the outfield.
