1
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to a Memorial Day special of earning their stripes.

2
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: This is Danny Martinez alongside Ian Smith and Ethan Bodowski.

3
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: On today's episode, we'll take a look at how the

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Marlins may handle the eventual promotions of Brinson, Monte Harrison

5
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: and Aissan Diaz. We also have a special guest joining

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: us as Ethan and Eli are managing editor sat down

7
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: with Jordan Yamamoto for a conversation that you won't want

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: to miss that'll be coming your way shortly. But first, Ethan, Ian,

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 1: congrats on the Gators. Man, how do you like where

10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: they're at?

11
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: I like it better than some places we could have

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: ended up, man, But I don't know. This year was tough,

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: So I'm just happy to be in the tournament at

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: this point because we had a down year. But the

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: future looks bright. A couple guys like Fabian and Cali

16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: Low that I would love to see in the modeling

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: system eventually. But yeah, I'm just happy we're in honestly.

18
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, if we can get a couple of

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: good starts in this first in this first regional, we

20
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: could maybe make a little noise. But I'm just really

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: happy to be in the tournament. Yeah, I mean, that's

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: really about it. I really wasn't expecting to see it,

23
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: and then I saw everybody mocking it that we're gonna

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: make it, and I was got kind of excited, but

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: I didn't want to get my hopes up. But I'll

26
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: take the draw. I mean, if we can get past

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 3: this first one, we'll see something.

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the draw is not bad. I mean, Texas is

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: the top seed, and then if we get like, you know,

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State in the next round or something, it's better

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: than running into like a U. C. L A or

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: somebody really really good like that. Absolutely.

33
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Canes, even for the season they had. I mean,

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Sharksville is tough. You have to start there, you know,

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tough it's a tough draw. So

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'll leave it at that. But at least

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: both of our we have horses in the race.

38
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 3: Basically no no regional this year, which is crazy.

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: That is crazy. That's crazy.

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's go and jump into it. We only

41
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: have around twenty minutes because we're going to have Jordan

42
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: come on a little bit later on. But there's this

43
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: really riveting conversation which I'm sure is going to have

44
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: a lot of meat to it because quite frankly, I

45
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: know Ethan's been talking about it online. I've been speaking

46
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: about it. I'm sure Ian has been speaking about it.

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: It is this beautiful revelation that's happening down in your

48
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: Orleans right now, where the guys that we need to

49
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: see performing because they're the ones knocking at the door

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: are doing. So I won't go into the numbers because

51
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: I like the guys dissect that, but Isan Diaz, Monte Harris,

52
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: and Lewis Brinson are all performing out of their minds

53
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: right now and we're seeing some of the changes that

54
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: we wanted to see happen from them. So really, this

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: conversation is just going to be about two pieces. One,

56
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: I want y'all to dissect what they're doing, their performance

57
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: and their success, and then I want to finish it

58
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: up kind of with a concept of how we would

59
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: handle their promotions, because that's what everyone's asking. I mean,

60
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 1: even Joe Fursorrow's getting into it right about Brinton being

61
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: down there is a waste of time, or Brinton should

62
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: be called up when Monte coming up, whatever the case is.

63
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: So you know, first let's disseiminate the numbers, but what

64
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: an impressive, impressive trio and the way that they're performing

65
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: right now.

66
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if if Joe, you know, if the

67
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: promotions went the way Joe does, and I like Joe

68
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: and I wish, you know, he wouldn't picker with us

69
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: so much. But you know, if he if the promotions

70
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: went the way he did, then Brinston would just go

71
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: right back into it because he's still struggled, uh, struggling

72
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: with the strikeout. I mean, his strikeout rate just dipped

73
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: under thirty percent after yesterday's game. He's down to twenty

74
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: eight now, which if we continue seeing that get around,

75
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: you know, maybe like twenty five twenty six really isn't

76
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: that terrible. But he still needs to work on the

77
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: strikeout and he still has a lot of work left

78
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: to do. But he's absolutely raking right now. I mean,

79
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: he was going to be the guy, you know, if

80
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: we weren't having this big discussion, I was going to

81
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: talk about in things we love to see. But I mean,

82
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: over his last ten days he's right here, are just ridiculous,

83
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: slugging seven to seventy five, not striking out at a

84
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: very high clip. And the thing I really like to

85
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: see so far is that this entire time that he's

86
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: been in Triple A, he's been walking. You know, his

87
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: walk rate and the Majors was like two percent or

88
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: something more, maybe more like three percent, But now he's

89
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: got it up at ten on the dot. It was

90
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: sitting at eight for a while, but he drew two

91
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: walks yesterday, and I just think that goes to show

92
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: that his pitch recognition is better, and that might just

93
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: have to do with you know, Triple A pitching not

94
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: being the quality of MLB pitching that it is, but

95
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: to see him recognizing pitches and laying off and being

96
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: able to take pitches and working good abs. The other

97
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: night he worked like at ten to eleven pitch ab

98
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: where he finished with an RBI single, And that just

99
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 2: goes to show you that he's just working and recognizing

100
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: pitches and being able to fight off and you know,

101
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: until he gets his pitch and is able to do

102
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 2: something with his pitch, and just the power numbers have

103
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: really been there for him. So you know, everybody's gonna

104
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: knock him because the k rate is still high and

105
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: everybody's still you know, not going to give him a

106
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 2: ton of credit. But I think what he's doing is

107
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: really good, because he could have gone to Triple A

108
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: and struggled and just not have been good and hit

109
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 2: the way that he did in Triple A and Double

110
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: A last year was just not great on his rehab assignment.

111
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: So the fact that he's raking and he's showing he's

112
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: making contact and drawing walks and hitting for power shows

113
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: that he's doing something right, and I think it's a

114
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: It's a very big positive what he's doing right now.

115
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: I I will agree with that at one hundred percent.

116
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 3: I think a big thing about what Brenton's doing in

117
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: Triple A right now is he's going into this assignment

118
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 3: with the confidence. Last year he really didn't win his rehabs.

119
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: He really didn't go into that trying to change anything.

120
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: He had the same approach as he did in the

121
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: majors and led to the same results. He's realizing that

122
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: he needs to go about things differently in this in

123
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: this time around, and showing the walk rate, like like

124
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: Ethan said, is fantastic. I watched him work a walk

125
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: last night in the ninth that were two pitches on

126
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: the black, just off the black that he sat on

127
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 3: and took a walk and put us in a position

128
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 3: to win the game. Unfortunately we didn't, but it was

129
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 3: just exciting to see. I mean, that's something I'm not

130
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: used to seeing on Lewis, so seeing that even at

131
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: triplay is exciting. And the other two guys, I mean,

132
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: what more can we say about a song? He's staring

133
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: the cover off the ball right now. It's it's it's stupid.

134
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 3: I mean before yesterday he was on a five straight

135
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: homer homer week. The last ten days he's hitting four

136
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: forty two with the ops of five twenty nine. I mean,

137
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: it's done. He's striking out only seventeen percent and walking

138
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: thirteen percent. He's he's being the machine that we expect

139
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: him to be, and he's exciting to see. I mean,

140
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 3: same thing with Monday. Four to fifty five on base

141
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: right now, that last that's that's absurd.

142
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: Eighteen point two walk percentage.

143
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, you're along, you know, yeah, you can tell

144
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: that his approach has really changed, and you know, the

145
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: k's are still high, and that's always going to be

146
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: the thing with Monte is when you get those k's down,

147
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: and that's what's going to limit him from you know,

148
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: when we get into the discussion about when to call

149
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: him up. That's going to be what limits him ultimately

150
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: from getting called U right away. But I mean all

151
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: three guys have just been on it recently. I mean

152
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: absolutely tremendous.

153
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll touch on what Ethan was talking about

154
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: with Lewis. You go online and everyone is always basically

155
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: looking for this miraculous like fifteen percent k rate, like

156
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: that's what people want to see from him apparently right

157
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: that and of course the oh he has to hit

158
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: the breaking ball, the off speen And I understand all

159
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: of that. I get that, which is why minor league

160
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: numbers can be skewed if you're only looking at the

161
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: box score. I fully understand it. But the reality is

162
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: that this man who got demoted is doing every single thing,

163
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: and now the k rate is dipping a little bit.

164
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: Even if it's as mediocre as just below thirty percent,

165
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: there are signs there. Like you said, and you kind

166
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: of joked at it, he could have gone down, he

167
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: could have sucked. He could have sucked, and then we

168
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: would have been in a real difficult situation where all

169
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: of us are having in himself included to look at

170
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: a complete revamp. Now does this say that when he

171
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: comes back up now he's going to be able to

172
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: generalize this.

173
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: No, none of us know.

174
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: This, right, But what's the purpose of trying to minimize success.

175
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: He went down there, He's doing what he's supposed to do.

176
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: He's walking more, which for me is actually more interesting

177
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: than him dipping his K. I understand that people think

178
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: there's always go one to one, but it doesn't. You

179
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: could take a lot of walks and to make a

180
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: lot of contact and not have the K. It's not

181
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: a one to one formula. I'm happy that his walk

182
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: rate is going up. I'm happy that, even if it's

183
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: just at twenty eight percent, the K is going down

184
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: and he's hitting for power. He's hitting for power and

185
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: it's something that we're seeing all three of them do

186
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: and it's exciting. And what happens with that is when

187
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: you have continuous success the way that these we do,

188
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: then we start talking about promotions. We start talking about

189
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: when they are are supposed to come up, when we

190
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: would want them to come up. And you have a

191
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: lot of differing opinions on that in the media and

192
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: as fans, and I'm sure anyone who's tuned into Marrolwin's baseball.

193
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: So then let's transition to that what And I'll actually

194
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: start off with Ethan because you and Luke Simpson, a

195
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: really great baseball mind and fan on Twitter, both had

196
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: the same concept of when you would promote these three players.

197
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about that concept.

198
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in no rush to get these guys up

199
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: to the bigs, to be honest with you. I mean,

200
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 2: I know that there's you know, there's nothing going on

201
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: at the big league level right now, and you know,

202
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: we always want to see the most exciting guys, and

203
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: that's you know why we were all so impatient to

204
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: get Harold up. And you know, look at what Harold's

205
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: doing right now. He's been tremendous since he's been called up.

206
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: But for these guys, I'm really in no rush to

207
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: get them up because I think if you let them sit,

208
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: you know, it's like, well we talked about earlier this

209
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: year with mgnur Sierra, if you just kind of let

210
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: these guys sit and marinate and get really confident in

211
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: what they're doing and show that, you know, LB's at

212
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 2: one hundred plate appearances right now on the dot. This

213
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: in triple A, and I think that's good, and that's

214
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: you know, an indicator usually around one hundred and one

215
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty eight BS is when you look at

216
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: a guy and you say, okay, this is the type

217
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: of season that they're going to have. So at one hundred,

218
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: you know, one hundred plate appearances eighty five AB's whatever.

219
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: You know, you can kind of start to make an

220
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: assessment of what the guy's going to do. So at

221
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 2: this point you can kind of say, like, he might,

222
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: you know, get this up. If he's been doing this

223
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 2: for one hundred plate appearances now and he's raking. I mean,

224
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: his slash line is tremendous, but I think we need

225
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: to let him marinate a little bit with this. And

226
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: obviously the big thing is we have to see the

227
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: strikeout rate go down. I mean, if you look at

228
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: his peripherals right now, like his walk rate is up

229
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: seven point six percent from the major leagues this year

230
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: to his time in Triple A, and his strikeout percentage

231
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: is down six point one percent. That's a really nice improvement.

232
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 2: But you still, you know, the major league average is

233
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: somewhere around like twenty two percent I think, and so

234
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: you know, it's not terrible, like twenty eight. You can

235
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: deal with it because look at that slash line. I

236
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 2: mean three oh six, four ten, fivety three. His ops

237
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: is at nine to sixty three one hundred and thirty

238
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: nine weighted runs creative plus. I mean, he's been he's

239
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: been really good in triple A. But let him be

240
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: really good for really long so that he comes back

241
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: to the major leagues with the confidence that he's raking with.

242
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: And then also, you know with the son in Monte,

243
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: Monte's got to get the k's down and he's son,

244
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: it's the same kind of thing. Just you know, he's

245
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 2: been raking for two or three weeks now, but he

246
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: was really struggling to start the season. I mean, the

247
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: average at one point was below the Mendoza line. So

248
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: you know, like I said, it's just keep marinating. And

249
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be mad at all if these guys don't

250
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 2: come up until the m the minor league season is over.

251
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: Really, I mean yeah, I mean I feel like I

252
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 3: would have to agree on that, But I don't think

253
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 3: that's what's gonna happen with Harold playing centerfield as much

254
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 3: as he is right now and Birdie being on d

255
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 3: l if Brinson keeps breaking like this, or say another

256
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 3: week or two, I think they're gonna bring him up.

257
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, it's just it's just what it's what

258
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: they want to see and what the roster is calling

259
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: for right now with I mean, Harold's playing good ball

260
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 3: in center field, but it's.

261
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 4: Not what we need to be doing and where we.

262
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: Were sending out that we can't send Rosel out there

263
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: every night. So I think if he keeps still doing

264
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 3: this for another week or two, he could be up

265
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: with Monte and Asan I think I don't think we're

266
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: gonna see a son for a while. Maybe August, like

267
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 3: I talked about earlier in the in the season, but

268
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: he's tanned the cup off the ball, so you never know,

269
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 3: but you can't. You're not gonna bring them up to

270
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 3: not play him. So as long as Starling's on the roster,

271
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: we're not going to see us on. I mean, in

272
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: my eyes, why we're going to bring the kid up

273
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 3: to let him sit on the bench.

274
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: Right Yeah?

275
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: And I think in a perfect world, in a perfect

276
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: world where you can control a bunch of factors, you

277
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: can almost bring all three of them up together. And

278
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: this is what I was alluding to that, Ethan kind

279
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: of said, and Luke as well, you let them marinate

280
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: and whenever the minor league season exactly you just reiterated finishes,

281
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: you bring them all up together. There's a level of

282
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: coherence that comes with that. There's just a level of unity.

283
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: They're they're playing well together. We know that they you know,

284
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: they raising the same system. Whatever the case is, there's

285
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: something about that. But I do agree that it's likely

286
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: going to be closer to what Ian said, just because

287
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: of roster construction. Right, I'm mister roster construction, the whole

288
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: Gallon versus Hernandez situation. I see the same thing happening here.

289
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: So just like just like Ian said, there's an issue

290
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: at center field. Derors is fantastic, he's still playing out

291
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: of position. Zer Herro is it going to be able

292
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: to do much with the bat. As soon as Lewis

293
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: Brinson shows, maybe a week or two more, he'll probably

294
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: be called up. After July thirty first, Royland Cashow's maybe

295
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: not on the roster anymore. You would imagine me San

296
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: Diaz gets called up, and then I would imagine that

297
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: Monte is the last person that gets called up sometime

298
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: in September with roster expansion or whatever the case may be.

299
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: That's the way that I would see it happen from

300
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: a roster construction standpoint. It doesn't mean that that's what

301
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: I would personally have wanted to happen. I would have

302
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: loved to have some center field depth that we could

303
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: really let Brinson marinate and something that's a little bit different.

304
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: But I also want to see at some point these guys.

305
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: I know no one wants to actually see this, but

306
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: when they stop hitting the way that they're hitting the

307
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: last ten days, the last two weeks, I want to

308
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: see how they bounce back. And that counts a little

309
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: bit more from monte Anissan than it does for Lewis.

310
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: But I want to see what's happening when they go

311
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: to the ballpark and they're not slashing out of their

312
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: mind every single night, and when they're not having this

313
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: kind of run production and this kind of success, just

314
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: because to me, that's always going to be a mental hurdle.

315
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: And I mean that's what we're talking about with Brinson.

316
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: We're talking about approach, and we're talking about the mental

317
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: side of the game. So I do I empathize with

318
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: Ethan's standpoint on this, and I think that eventually Ian's

319
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: standpoints what's gonna happen. Just from a roster construction point

320
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: of view.

321
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just touch on that one point, Danny about

322
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: bouncing back, Like we've seen Monte have an oh for

323
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: four with three strikeouts or and you know, an over

324
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: with a bunch of strikeouts, and we've seen him the

325
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: next night come back and you know, go two for

326
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: four with a double or something like that. I think

327
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: there was a recent example where he went oh for

328
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: four and then he had like a three for four

329
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: the next night or something with a home run. So

330
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: he's shown the ability to bounce back, and he's shown

331
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: the ability to adjust at each level. And he saw

332
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: he's done the same thing. He saw struggled at the

333
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: beginning of the year last year in Jacksonville and then

334
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: he was really really good after he came off the

335
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: d L. He struggled a lot this year in New Orleans.

336
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was probably the worst that are on the

337
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: team for the first year.

338
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

339
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: He's a slow starter.

340
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

341
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, his his ops was like in the five hundreds.

342
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: His average, Yeah, his average was down below two hundred.

343
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: And then now he's got the average up around like

344
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: two seventy. It might be not as high after yesterday's

345
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: over four, but you know, these guys have shown the

346
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: ability to adjust. Brinson started slow in New Orleans and

347
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: he's been raking ever since. So yeah, these guys have

348
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: shown the ability to adjust. The only thing I would say,

349
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: and I understand why LB is probably up in a

350
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: week or two, the only thing I'd say is there's

351
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: a high possibility that after only a month and you know,

352
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: not even one hundred and fifty plate appearances or abs

353
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: or however you want to judge it, you know that

354
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: he just goes right back into the same spiral that

355
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: we saw him before. And that's what I'm concerned about

356
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: with these short stints where you only send him down

357
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 2: because you have to send him down. You know, I

358
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 2: understand that there's a hole in center field right now,

359
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: but we should be more worried about Brinton's development than

360
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 2: a defensive need in center field because the games just

361
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: don't matter absolute now, really, you know what I mean.

362
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 2: So if you want to look at long term and

363
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: really care about the development of Brinton, I think that

364
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: the best option is to leave him down for a while.

365
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: That's just my opinion. But you know, that's the way

366
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 2: I see it, and that's why I say call them

367
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 2: all up when we get to September, except I guess

368
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: Isan would have to come up if Starlin is off

369
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: the roster after the trade deadline.

370
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: Do you guys envision at all, any any option or

371
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: any reality out there where these three are not starting

372
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: opening day next year? No?

373
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: No, I think all three of them are starting.

374
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean, you know, obviously there's the chance

375
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: that they you know, they fall off whatever the case is, right,

376
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: But if we're talking about probability, we have to feel

377
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: relatively comfortable the next year wherever we are an opening day,

378
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: whether it's home or away, Isan's going to be Manning. Second.

379
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: Who do you think is Manning center? Lewis and then

380
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: Monte right or would you would you change.

381
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 2: That arm strength? I would probably put Monte in right field.

382
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: I think Monte And so you know, with the current

383
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: construction of the roster and the way things play down

384
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: in the in the liners, I think Monte is going

385
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 2: to end up being a major league right fielder. But yeah,

386
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: I mean, even if we see LB regress to the

387
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: mean a little bit, and maybe Monte slows down and

388
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: Asan slows down, which I don't see out of all

389
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 2: three of those guys, I don't see Isan slowing down

390
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: because he's the one that's getting hot. I think all

391
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: three of them still just because of the way, like

392
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: you said, Danny Ronister construction, I think all three of

393
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 2: them are in Miami on opening day.

394
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I agree. I agree. That was something that

395
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: was posed last week, and I just couldn't even fathom

396
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: away that it wouldn't be the case.

397
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: Really.

398
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: I just think even with their age there, this next

399
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: upcoming year is the year they're supposed to be there,

400
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: and it's nice to at least see that right now

401
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: they're performing in that fashion. All right, So another person

402
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: that's performing that fashion is about to join us. Jordan

403
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: Yamamoto has been pitching out of his mind and we're

404
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: excited that he's going to be able to come on.

405
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: Ian and I actually are not able to be a

406
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: part of this interview, but Ethan and Eli held it down.

407
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: So without further ado, here's Jordan Yamamoto.

408
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 4: Hey, everybody, thanks for tuning in. This is Eli Susman.

409
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 4: You're managing editor here at Fish Stripes, making a rare

410
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 4: podcast appearance. I'm joining by Ethan Bidowski. We have a

411
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 4: special guest this week. He is Hawaii's own Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp,

412
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: bright hander Jordan Yamamoto, one of the top pitching prospects

413
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 4: in a Marlins organization that is stacked with pitching talent.

414
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 4: He's going to talk to us about his success on

415
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 4: the fields, how he got here in the first place,

416
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 4: what he looks forward to in the future, interests off

417
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: the field, and so much more. Jordan, thank you so

418
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 4: much for joining us.

419
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no problem. Thanks thank you for having me

420
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 5: and speaking.

421
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 4: Right before Memorial Day weekend. A lot of people will

422
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 4: be listening to this after the holiday weekends. But your

423
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 4: most recent start was one of your best as a pro.

424
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 4: You went seven no hit innings, a career high one

425
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 4: hundred and seven pitches, just that one walk. And it

426
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 4: probably doesn't feel all that special to you, because, I mean,

427
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 4: you've had so many of these dominant starts since the

428
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 4: Marlins acquired you. But it was the longest no hit

429
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 4: bid of your pro career so far. Is there anything

430
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 4: specific that worked for you more than usual in that game,

431
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 4: A certain pitch or just your overall commands? I mean,

432
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 4: what do you think explains why you were so successful

433
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 4: in that game on Monday?

434
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 5: It was definitely commanded execution. I mean Montgomery was a

435
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 5: very great, great hit hitting team, a bunch of guys

436
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 5: who can sing the bat very well. So, I mean,

437
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 5: in my game plan and you know, just talking to

438
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 5: my catcher, we just we we just went after them,

439
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 5: executed pitches down on the zone and up in the

440
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 5: zone when I had to, moved in and out, and

441
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 5: then softened it and hardened it when when when I

442
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 5: had to, And that was the key to I think

443
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 5: breaking down their lineup.

444
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: Jordan, you talk about command and execution, and I think

445
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 2: that's what makes you so great, because you know, the

446
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 2: stuff might not jump off the page at you. I've

447
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: called you the Kyle Hendrix of this organization. What what

448
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: Who do you model your game after? What are your

449
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: influences in baseball? And who might you compare your game to.

450
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 5: That's funny because you're about the third person who actually

451
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 5: said that to me that I follow. I watched his

452
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 5: videos after a couple other people told me so. I

453
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 5: mean it's very similar. I mean, I've watched a bunch

454
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna try to try to learn from that,

455
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 5: But for the most part, I don't really have an

456
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 5: it on baseball, you know, like I'd try to be

457
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 5: my own person and do my own thing.

458
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

459
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 4: One thing I want to get into with the Hendrix

460
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 4: comp is that he's most known for his changeup, and

461
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 4: a lot of the pro valuators that I've heard from

462
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 4: would say that's your best pitch at least moving up

463
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 4: through the system and eventually something that would translate at

464
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 4: the highest level. Is that something you agree with? Would

465
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 4: you say your changeup is what you're most comfortable in

466
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 4: if you're really in a jam like run around third

467
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 4: less than two outs and you really need to strikeout

468
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 4: or soft contact, is that the pitch you trust most

469
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 4: in that situation?

470
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean recently it's been called coming to that.

471
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 5: At first, when my curve ball wasn't working at the

472
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 5: game of this year, my slider really wasn't working, I

473
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 5: would go to my changeup more often than not. I'll

474
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 5: get ground balls where you get me out of jams,

475
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 5: double plays and all that stuff. When I needed an

476
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 5: early count out, I could feel that. I mean, it

477
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 5: worked very well. But the last game since I brought

478
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 5: my curve ball and my slider just came back. I

479
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 5: just said throw it, and now it's better. It's worked

480
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 5: a lot better because now I have all four pitches

481
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 5: rather than just a fast one to change up. So

482
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 5: I mean either way, I mean, it's it's just a

483
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 5: matter of like I said earlier, control it or command

484
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 5: and executing all my pitches. And I think that's what

485
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 5: really helps because you guys like you guys say like,

486
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 5: I'm not a power pitcher. I don't nothing really pops

487
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 5: off the page, and uh, it's just a matter of

488
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 5: command and I have to really be fine with with

489
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 5: with where I saw my pitches.

490
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: Jordan, you've put up some really sick strikeout numbers, especially

491
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: last year you had some games with some really really

492
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: high strikeout numbers despite you know not not and then

493
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 2: recently you haven't had some of the higher strikeout numbers.

494
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 5: Ever.

495
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: Does it feel good to be able to know that

496
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: you don't have to get guys out with the strikeout

497
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: and you can you know, force ground balls and and

498
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff and not necessarily have to

499
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 2: look for the strike out at all times and still

500
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: be effective.

501
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 5: Yes, I mean, it's always nice to see that that

502
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 5: strike out rate go up. But at the end of

503
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 5: the day, I'm not This year, at least, I'm not

504
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 5: really a strikeout picture. The batteries are getting a lot better.

505
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 5: They just hard to learn me more because they have

506
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 5: more video on me and all that stuff. But for me,

507
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 5: it's I've talked to my coordinators and my pigy coaches.

508
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 5: It's more I'm more of a weak contact pitcher. It's

509
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 5: not a very big strike up picture anymore. It's more

510
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 5: of just, hey, here, here's the pitch. I want you

511
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 5: to hit, and go hit it, you know, dude, do

512
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 5: what you can with with my pitch. Instead of the

513
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 5: tend me throwing a pitch and they take and they

514
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 5: take it and they wait for their pitch, you know.

515
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 5: So now I'm trying to make them hit the pitches

516
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 5: that I wanted to hit.

517
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: Do you make those adjustments in Arizona this year, like

518
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 2: from one year to another or what? You know? What

519
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: kind of things were you looking at in Arizona this fall?

520
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 5: Arizona two was where I started to realize that, like,

521
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 5: the hitters are getting a lot better, I can't just

522
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 5: blowed by guys anymore. So my strength oouts went down

523
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 5: a little bit. I mean, it's just how it is.

524
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 5: It's the nature of the game. But then I came

525
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 5: to screen training thing, I actually strike everybody out and

526
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 5: it did not go all that well for me. In

527
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 5: the minor league side of screen training, I had to

528
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 5: roll a bunch of innings because I would walk guys

529
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,239
Speaker 5: because I would get hit all over the place. So

530
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 5: I talked to my quarter and I was like, really,

531
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 5: what's going on, you know, and he said, you're trying

532
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 5: to be someone you're not. You're you're trying to blow

533
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 5: by guys. You're trying to do this, trying to do that,

534
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 5: but get in reality, you're a weak contact picture. That's

535
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 5: all you need to pitch to is weak content. Make

536
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 5: guys off balance, off ballot swings, and you'll be fine.

537
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you go out pitching that way, then of

538
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 4: course your defense has to be involved a little bit,

539
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 4: and from what we've noticed, Jacksonville really has played some

540
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 4: great defense behind you. You're on the mounds, only one

541
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 4: unearned run allowed this entire season. Fifty percent of the

542
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 4: base stealers that try to steal against you get thrown out.

543
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 4: So for those listeners that don't to watch every game

544
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 4: from the Shrimp, that closely or don't follow them. Which

545
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: of your particular teammates do you want to highlight that

546
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 4: are fielding well behind you and letting you be successful.

547
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 5: I mean our defense from top to bottom, from left

548
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 5: field to right field, from catcher to the short stop,

549
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 5: to everybody, it's it's an unbelievable I mean defense we

550
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 5: got and and I've said this from the beginning of

551
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 5: the year that our defense is solid like bright and

552
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 5: bring me. He is gonna following with me. He's just nasty,

553
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 5: like laughing, and he makes it unbelievable play gliding up

554
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 5: into like behind second base and making the play. We

555
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 5: have Joe at third base, he does both now short

556
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 5: span third base. Just having the depth of infield and

557
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 5: outfield that we have, the speed that we have is

558
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 5: is very crucial to my pitching because now I'm not

559
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 5: really strike off pitcher anymore. So now I have to

560
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 5: trust my defense a lot more than I used to.

561
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 5: And now I can let the ball. I can throw

562
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 5: the ball with the middle the plate, let him hit

563
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 5: the ball, and I can trust that my defense has

564
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 5: my back, which is a which is a great actually

565
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 5: as a pitcher to see. And I mean, and that's

566
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 5: why our pitch stapp is doing so great because of

567
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 5: our defense. I mean, if we're a different defense, I

568
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 5: think you'd be a different story for our pitch staff.

569
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 5: It wouldn't be throwing up this two yar ra or

570
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 5: three year a for the month of May. You know.

571
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 5: So I really think that there's really no one to

572
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 5: really highlight, but everybody. Everybody's doing their part, and even

573
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 5: the bench guys when they have to come into the

574
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 5: game and double switch or pinch it, you know, like

575
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 5: they're all doing their job and they're all doing their

576
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 5: part to help us win.

577
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: You talked about the success your pitching staff it's been

578
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 2: having in Jacksonville this year, but Jacksonville is definitely not

579
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 2: the only pitching staff in this organization having success. I mean,

580
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 2: there's talent everywhere in this organization. How much does it

581
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: help you to be around talent not just in Jacksonville,

582
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: but the guys that are in New Orleans, the guys

583
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: that are in Clinton, and the guys that are in Jupiter,

584
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: especially with such a loaded rotation in Jupiter, you know,

585
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: being around those guys in the spring, how much as

586
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: that contribute to your success? And how fun is it

587
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 2: to be a part of this kind of system with

588
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: so much pitching talent up and down.

589
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: Oh, it's an awesome failure. I mean, you know, just

590
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 5: having then in your competitiveness between us, like team competitiveness,

591
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 5: where we have like this thing where okay, we want

592
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 5: to do better than like it's not like we want

593
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 5: to root against someone. It's more of a hey, let's

594
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 5: be each other at doing this and get better and

595
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 5: better at it, you know. So, And it's one of

596
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 5: those things seeing the guys in Triple A do good,

597
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 5: Like what we want to do is as a punch

598
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 5: step down here is even to do good too, so

599
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 5: that maybe one of us or a couple of us

600
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 5: can even move up when the time arise. You know.

601
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 5: It's just one of those things that you have the

602
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 5: competitiveness between all the levels and you just want to

603
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 5: be good. You don't want to you don't want to

604
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 5: technically wish upon someone to do bad or whatever it is.

605
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 5: It's more of a hey, let's do good because at

606
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 5: the end of the day. One of the greatest lessons

607
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 5: that I've learned from from a bunch of players is

608
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 5: that if you're a big league pitcher, you're going to

609
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 5: pitch in the big leadus. You know, it's not that

610
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 5: you're you're not pitching for the Miami Marlins. You're you're

611
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 5: pitching for all thirty teams and if someone wants you,

612
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 5: it's almost going to get you know, it's not just hey,

613
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 5: I hope you do better. I hope you get hurt,

614
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 5: you know, like, because there are those there are those

615
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 5: guys out there and it's just life. And I mean

616
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 5: they're gonna wish that upon people so that they can

617
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 5: do good. But the way the pitching staffs are here

618
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 5: in the off from high to deal with the Triple A,

619
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 5: it's more but hey, what can we do to better

620
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 5: each other so that we can all achieve our ultimate

621
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 5: goal of getting to the big leagues? You know? And

622
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 5: and that's what I think is really helping all the

623
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 5: pitching staffs to to really further their career and further

624
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,239
Speaker 5: their and better their stats because they want to have

625
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 5: that inner competitiveness between each other.

626
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: What kind of relationship do you have with guys across

627
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: these systems because there's so much talent And we talked

628
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: to Trevor Rodgers about this a couple of weeks ago.

629
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: You know, how aware are you of what's going on

630
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: with this rebuild and how the guys are doing across

631
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: systems and what is the relationship with like with guys

632
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: that are playing in Triple A and in Jupiter and

633
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 2: everything like that.

634
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:17,239
Speaker 5: I don't really talk to those guys much, but like

635
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 5: I just actually talked to last night, but like I

636
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 5: do text a couple of guys here and there about

637
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 5: their picture, like what's it called. I was talking to

638
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 5: Mahia one from Clinton yea perfect Innings a couple of

639
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,600

642
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 5: really good, as they not, but your line is a

643
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 5: lot better. There's something that we have that competitiveness between

644
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 5: the even even down Tolley. You know. It's just having

645
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 5: that relationship even with the young because I've been a

646
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 5: part of teams or the issue where like it's kind

647
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 5: of like unwritten rule to kind of talk to the

648
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 5: higher levels, you know. But I don't want to be

649
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 5: like that. I don't want to have I don't want

650
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 5: to make the young guys feel or the guys in

651
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 5: low way or people feel like they can't talk to me,

652
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 5: you know, like, I want to be here to help

654
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 5: it's not just about me. I mean, if they're going

655
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 5: to help them Martins get better, if they're gonna somehow

656
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 5: succeed because of they got different advice, you know, from

657
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 5: different players who have who are playing currently, didn't then

658
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 5: bow me. I'm not here to break anybody else's career down.

659
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 5: I'm here to help them and guide them or at

660
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 5: least try to guide them in the right direction to success.

661
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 5: You know.

662
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

663
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is great. But I think we've talked enough

664
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 4: about baseball. I want to move on. I want to

665
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 4: move on to your big hobby cuts by Yama as

666
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: a barber. Yeah, I mean that's something that they're clearly

667
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 4: passionate about, and that you're even doing during the season.

668
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 4: For people that don't follow you on on social media,

669
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 4: you're pretty proud of what you've done with both your

670
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 4: teammates and even with opposing players. Can you explain to people,

671
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 4: you know, why you're passionate about cutting hair when you

672
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 4: started doing it?

673
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I started doing it back in twenty fifteen.

674
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 5: It was just a thing that I grew up drawing,

675
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 5: I grew up painting, sketching and doing a lot of

676
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 5: artistic stuff. So I said, why not, why not try it?

677
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 5: So I bought myself with a couple of clippers and then

678
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 5: try trots right on a couple of teammates. And I mean,

679
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 5: it wasn't bad, it wasn't great, But we have a

680
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 5: lot of teammates where well, I'm lucky, we have a

681
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 5: lot of teams where they go, yeah, you know, we

682
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 5: were at hats for a living, so why not let

683
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 5: let you cut my hair? And then all like over

684
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 5: the years, you just get better and better, you know,

685
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 5: so because you don't have the fear of the guys.

686
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 5: Oh if you mess up, you know, no, they go

687
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 5: if you mess up, their hair grows back. So that's

688
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 5: that's a good part about learning how to cut hair

689
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 5: in a in a world of your your I guess

690
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 5: your coworkers wear hats, are living, you know, so it's good.

691
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 5: But definitely I'm just trying to think what I'm trying

692
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 5: to do with I guess cutting hair is the big

693
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 5: thing is is that it's hard to find barbers or

694
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 5: a place to cut hair when when you move to

695
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 5: all these different cities throughout the nation, so because you're

696
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 5: not used to and a lot of guys want to

697
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 5: have that confidence in their haircut and all that stuff.

698
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 5: So me learning just really helped out my teammates. I mean,

699
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 5: I'm just here to really make it more of a

700
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 5: convenience thing for them, because I know how it is

701
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 5: like to not get paid all that much during the year,

702
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden, now haircuts are thirty dollars

703
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 5: or forty dollars eat every two weeks, which is quite

704
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 5: a bit for the minor league pay. So I didn't

705
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 5: more for just helping my teammates out, helping the minors

706
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 5: out on that grind, and you know, like so that's

707
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 5: what I'm trying to do is build my platform of

708
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 5: my haircutting page so that when I do visit different

709
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 5: cities on the road, I have the teammates or I

710
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 5: have the players from the other team going hey can

711
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 5: I get a cut? You know, and it's all for them.

712
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 5: It's just a convenience thing that I'm going to help

713
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 5: them out with because, like I said, it sucks trying

714
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 5: to find a rod like for me personally, I have

715
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 5: to do that myself now because I don't really know

716
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 5: anyone who can cut my hair. So, uh, I just

717
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 5: rather have other people feeling good and and and not

718
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 5: really worrying about having to find places and having to

719
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 5: pay the outrageous prices for a haircut, you know. So

720
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 5: it's one of the things that just just trying to

721
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 5: help out other people.

722
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 2: Jordan, you know there's a barbershop in Marlin's Park, right,

723
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 2: you're gonna take you get take over a share of there. Man.

724
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 5: No, No, that's Jesus, that's Jesus spot. So I've talked

725
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 5: to him, like when I was in spring training. I

726
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 5: don't bring myself around that, like that's like that's his job.

727
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 5: I'm not going to take that from him, and I

728
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 5: don't want to. He is a great barber. I've I've

729
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 5: stood and I've watched him cut hair before. It's it's

730
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 5: it's always fun to just watch someone who's been doing

731
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 5: it for so long cut hair. So it's one of

732
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 5: the things that yeah, definitely not taking my my cutting

733
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 5: stuff to to Modern Park. It's yeah, it's so yeah, Well.

734
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 4: That's learning from the best. I mean, he's the guy

735
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 4: that not only Marlins players go do, but he has

736
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 4: the same thing people come from around the league, even

737
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 4: at the highest level, even when they can afford to

738
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 4: go anywhere. I mean, he commands that kind of respect though,

739
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 4: I mean, he's the best guy to learn from, even

740
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 4: if you're not gonna compete against you exactly.

741
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, definitely, I don't want to be competing. I mean,

742
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 5: I definitely stand and I learned. But like I've told guys,

743
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 5: because some guys are like, hey, so what happens to me,

744
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 5: make to be they're still gonna cut. But he's kind

745
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 5: of one of those things that I don't really know

746
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 5: because I don't want to take my stuff into the

747
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 5: bathroom and cut, you know, and then he walk in

748
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 5: and it's just gonna be kind of awkward. So but

749
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 5: I mean, I have guys who who definitely like or

750
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 5: I'd be cutting for years now, and it's not I

751
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 5: guess for them, I'll cut them. But for the guys

752
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 5: that are Jesus clients, I'm not gonna take it. I'm

753
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 5: not gonna take them or anything. It's it's his clients.

754
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 5: So pretty much the only guys will cut if I

755
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 5: make when I make to the big league, it's just

756
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 5: for me. The guys like the saw on them or

757
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 5: I've been cutting for years now, you know, so so

758
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 5: just that, Yeah.

759
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 2: Jordan, you grew up in Hawaii and uh not, you know,

760
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 2: we've had a couple of guys on that haven't exactly

761
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 2: come from baseball outfits. What was it like not you know,

762
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 2: not too many baseball influences around you. And then you know,

763
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: uh where where did that love for the game come from?

764
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 5: It came from my dad. I mean, my family did

765
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 5: not play baseball. My family a back rider, so I

766
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 5: mean he only played baseball to a little league, but

767
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 5: just getting me around the game while playing a year

768
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 5: round from when I was ten years old, he really

769
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 5: made me love the game. And in Hawaii you can

770
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 5: play a year round, you know. So it's one of

771
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 5: those things that you just keep playing. And I never

772
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 5: really played different sports. So I played basketball one year,

773
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 5: wasn't really good at it, played soctor made one door

774
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 5: in my own goal. So, I mean those sports weren't

775
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 5: exactly the greatest sports for me. So stuck at baseball.

776
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 5: And then over time, you know, you just you kind

777
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 5: of realized, wow, I would actually maybe do this, you know,

778
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 5: and then you get the outs come out and they

779
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 5: give you the questionnaires when you're in when when you're

780
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 5: in junior, in high school, whatever it is, and then

781
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 5: you're like, wow, maybe I can actually do this, you know,

782
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 5: and then you just take it from there and you

783
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 5: run with it, and uh, you know, just fortunate enough

784
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 5: that that God allowed me to play the game and

785
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 5: get drafted out of high school. So it's one of

786
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 5: those things that, Yeah, the love of the game just

787
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 5: just came from from my dad and him really pressing

788
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 5: it upon me to just be be good at it

789
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 5: and then do it with everything I got, you know,

790
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 5: Like that was his thing, is that if you're going

791
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 5: to do something, do it and don't and don't see

792
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 5: you know. So I did and I'm still going to

793
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 5: be doing that and and just having fun with it.

794
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna get you out here on a couple

795
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 4: of final questions. But I know that over this past

796
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 4: off season, between the Fall league, between major leagues, from training,

797
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 4: you probably didn't get to spend as much time back

798
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 4: home in Hawaii as you usually do during the off season. So,

799
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 4: I mean there's no place quite like it is there,

800
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 4: Like where you do you find yourself being homesick, even

801
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 4: as a guy that has been a pro now for

802
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 4: what five years. The fact that you had this kind

803
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 4: of off season where you're mostly on the mainland. Did

804
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 4: is there anything that you missed about it or anything

805
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 4: that really compares to being in Hawaii.

806
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, definitely. I mean, it's always nice to be home,

807
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 5: it's always nice to be around your friends, your family.

808
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, you know, it's

809
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 5: your job, and I choose to be like in Florida

810
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 5: for the most of the off season. After the following

811
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 5: I came back to Florida just because of it's my job,

812
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 5: you know, you know, and if I really wanted to

813
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 5: do big, I'm gonna have to be out here because

814
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 5: and work a little with the trainers and the medical

815
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 5: staff in Jupiter, and I show the conditioning staff, you know,

816
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 5: just to keep arm healthy, keep my body up the

817
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 5: part to be able to throw one hundred and fifty

818
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 5: hundred and sixty eight the following year, you know. And

819
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 5: I was oftenly, Yeah, Gary Demo has told me, we

820
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 5: want you to throw in this amount of innings, and

821
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 5: I like, do that. I had to say interrepreter. You know,

822
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 5: my mom, my dad understood that. So it was one

823
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 5: of those things that I understood too. And now it's

824
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 5: my life. So I got I got to stay out

825
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 5: here in Florida for most off season because yeah, like

826
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 5: like you guys said, I only went home for three

827
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 5: weeks last off season, which kind of sucks that I

828
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 5: don't get to spear fish because I don't get to

829
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 5: do all this stuff in my family and to spend

830
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 5: time with them. But at the same time, they understand

831
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 5: that I'm trying to live out my dream and pursue

832
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 5: pursuing and become a big leaguer, you know, so.

833
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: Right, and then and then Jordan, one final question. We've

834
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 2: been asking everybody this because I think the minor league

835
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: lifestyle is very interesting and some of the places you

836
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 2: guys go, and I've heard some crazy stories about it.

837
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 2: So coming from you know, coming from Hawaii, one of

838
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 2: the most beautiful places in the world, and then having

839
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 2: to play, I think you guys right now are in

840
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 2: Mississippi or something. Give me something about either the worst

841
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 2: place you've played or bad experience or a time you

842
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 2: were just like, wow, you know this, I've made it,

843
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 2: or this isn't you know we're not in Kansas anymore?

844
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 2: Here with you know, being you played in all kinds

845
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 2: of crazy places in Milwaukee and then down here too.

846
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 2: So give us a good story about the minor league

847
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 2: lifestyle and something funny that you've experienced along the way.

848
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 5: I mean, for me, a lot of people have asked me,

849
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 5: especially my roommate he's doing his perspective TV thing, But

850
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 5: for for you, He's always asked me, like, what really

851
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 5: stands out to you in professional baseball? And I mean,

852
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 5: the main thing that stands out to me is is

853
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 5: crazy because it's not memories about the field. It's not

854
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 5: memories about team meets or whatever it is. It's just

855
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 5: the place that you've been and the people you meet.

856
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 5: You know, like you go to like me, I've been

857
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 5: into twenty something different states in the past five years.

858
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 5: It's crazy because you get to see all these different states,

859
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 5: all the different sceeniories, you get to meet all these

860
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 5: different people from different towns. And that's the crazy part

861
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 5: to me is being able to meet different people, especially

862
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 5: like went on to Wisconsin, you know, like you had

863
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 5: you had fans who were genuine who really came to

864
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 5: the game and really got to know you for a

865
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 5: person rather than just a player, or you know, and

866
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 5: Carolina where they do that same thing where they meet,

867
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 5: where they make it known, where they want to know

868
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 5: you as a person and as a deeper like, you know,

869
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 5: as a human to human, not just an entertainment type

870
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 5: of thing. You know. So it's really cool to meet

871
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 5: some people like that. And I mean that that's just

872
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 5: the main memories is those things. I mean, I mean,

873
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 5: there are the bus trips and the road trips you

874
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 5: go to where you go out and have fun with

875
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 5: your friends. But for the most part, it's just meaning

876
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 5: different people from different towns. I mean, it's crazy to

877
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 5: see the different lifestyles and different backgrounds people come from

878
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 5: that are so different than yours, and you just appreciate

879
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 5: of all the different things that they do and that

880
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 5: they that they bring to to this world. You know,

881
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 5: it's actually really crazy to think about.

882
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 2: That's cool. That's a different perspective than we've gotten from

883
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 2: from some of the guys. Yeah, that's really cool man.

884
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 5: Yes, definitely mean a lot of guys that do think

885
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 5: they have their stories. I have my stories, but my

886
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 5: stories are for me to laugh about with some of

887
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 5: the guys I don't like to, yeah, let things out.

888
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 5: But at the same time, it's like some of the

889
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 5: greatest stories, like not real story, but some of the

890
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 5: great things that happened to be in Full Ball is

891
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 5: meeting the people from you know, making friendships of a

892
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 5: lifetime where I could sit back and then all of

893
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 5: a sudden, I'll get a text from from random people

894
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 5: from different cities I've been in and go, hey, man,

895
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 5: like miss year, like wishing which can come back to

896
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 5: Wisconsin and which can come back to Carolina. You know,

897
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 5: it's one of those it's those little things that you

898
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 5: made an impact on their lives and they made impact

899
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 5: on yours to be like to have that friendship over

900
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 5: three years, you know. So it's actually really cool.

901
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 4: Well, you have experiences ahead of you. Still can move

902
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 4: up one more level to Triple A and see all

903
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,919
Speaker 4: those specific Coast League cities and then yeah, right after

904
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 4: that in the majors, So you got plenty of exploring

905
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 4: ahead of you and people to learn about. But this

906
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 4: is really great. You're I mean, George's had a lot

907
