Ben Schulman

A couple years before that, the Arizona Diamondbacks, not a lot of people picked them to go to the World Series.

Do you remember or think about those moments a lot, pitching in the championship series or the World Series for the Diamondbacks?

Last year, you joined the Blue Jays organization.

Now you're back again this year, now up with the Big League Club.

What about this organization or this opportunity stood out to you?

Well, so far you've been proving them right with the pitching you've been doing for the Blue Jays.

Joe, thanks so much for the time.

Ben Schulman alongside Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lucas.

Nathan, thanks so much for the time.

I appreciate it.

So I want to go back to last year briefly.

I know we're on to a new season at this point, but you had spent the majority of your pro career in the minors, some cameos in 2023.

You were with the team for a while that year and then 24 at the end of the year.

What was it like for you?

U have to wait so long and at Triple A for multiple

a lot of pressure when you do get up there to be like they've given me the chance now i have to prove it or or was it like hey i put so much down on paper now that i i have a lot of confidence it's going to work out or maybe somewhere in between no that was definitely the trial and error um in 23 it was it was that way it was i was pressing way too much i felt like

It's definitely helped me grow.

Speaking with Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lucas, you had a lot of big moments for the Blue Jays in the playoffs too, some big hits.

Is there a moment throughout the year or perhaps in the postseason that really sticks out to you when you think of last year that comes to mind for you?
