You.

You.

The organization has done this rotation, BAYO, two years ago as your opening day started, right?

And today, where he's at and what that sort of takes off the pressure he brought to himself.

Yeah, I thought he did an outstanding job last year for a stretch there.

It was Gio, Crochet, and BAYO, and we took off.

You think about where he was a few years ago, 40% change-ups, and now we have a lot of stuff, repertoire-wise, and he's been getting better at it.

It looks like the change-up is where, at this stage, right?

Erling Kemp is in a good place.

Velo-wise, it's not kind of like morphing into that sinker Velo, right?

Although last year he was thrown harder, but

The 91-92 changeup last year was a bad sinker, and I think lefties took advantage of it.

The velo right now is 87-88.

We'll see what happens today, but he's in a good spot, and I agree with you.

Just let him be.

We don't know how we're going to do it for the regular season yet, but we know he's a guy that we can rely on.

He can give us innings, and he's really good at what he does.

I always have this conversation with Hall of Famer Carlos Beltran.

When he was coming up, it was a left-handed thing.

He wanted to switch it, and he got to it.
