He's also an example of, I always find pitching coaches fascinating because you have such an eclectic group of wind-ups, of deliveries, of pitch mix, of all of that.

And in case people don't know, like, look, Jonah Tong has been sort of compared a lot to the Tim Slinson come, fair or not, I don't know.

But, and then you have a guy like Nolan McClain who is vastly different delivery.

As a pitching coach, how do you view that?

To me, that's fascinating.

And not to ramble on here, but Justin, I go back to, I remember when John Farrell was a pitching coach for a group that was like Daisuke Matsuzaka, him Wakefield, a knuckleballer, you know, Curt Schilling, Josh Beckett, like dramatically different people.

So for you, let's take your current group.

When you look at these guys, how do you approach them as a pitching coach?

That's really interesting.

So it leads me to the obvious question.

I want to go through superpowers.

You mentioned Jonah's superpower.

Okay.

Nolan McClain's superpower.

What would it be?

So does that have to do, and maybe I'm trying to be smart when I'm not, but I know he was a two-way player with athleticism.

How much does the athleticism come into play with him?

That's interesting.

And so his superpower is spinning the ball.
