So those are that's actually one of the biggest challenges I think teams that play deep into October run into is just trying to, you know, and you get a lot of guys done a lot of scouts or coaches done in September.
But, you know, there's a there's a group of whether it's major league coaches or or front office staff or more player development staff, sometimes they seep into October to in September when you're when you're in a playoff run is really busy because you're advancing and doing a lot of things to prepare for to get in.
Yeah, I mean, I just think it depends who you ask.
I mean, I still, like, I don't,
I would have a hard time understanding how when you can get multiple pieces of information, you don't want to use the subjective view, the objective view, I think, and trying to marry it.
So for me, yeah, I do think it's still very important.
I think it's extremely important when you talk about the international and the amateur world, for sure, where you're getting...
you know, the information and the data you're getting is not as reliable as maybe in the major leagues or in the pro world.
But I think it's important across all realms.
I think it's, you know, I value, I mean, obviously I came up in a scouting department.
I value those resources.
I value somebody's opinion.
You know, obviously we layer in a lot of
objective data and we want and and especially scouts that are willing to conform um that understand that you know 20 years ago when you didn't have this data um it was probably you probably leaned on somebody's um just one look or two looks at a player more so than maybe you had you would do now where you do you are able to track a lot of the data and i say this all the time it's like
if branch Ricky had all this information, he would have used it, you know, like they just didn't have it.
And I think, you know, the really smart baseball people would have definitely used it.
So, um,
Yeah, I mean, I don't think – I personally don't think scouting is going away.
This has changed.
Yeah, look, I also think we've given scouts more tools and hopefully they use them to help
