I think some of it is just getting used to the upper levels.
The Eastern league is really strong pitching.
Um, his, this will be his first, uh, first start of a season in cold weather, which I think will be a bit of a challenge too, for, for not only him, but some of our younger Latin players who have never really experienced, you know, 30, 40 degree weather in, in April, um, for the start of the season.
So, um,
Just, again, I would say the impact of the bat.
We obviously have some goals set out for him, and I expect him to reach them and get a chance in Worcester at some point.
But we're really pleased with what he's done so far, his growth, and he's still really young.

He's shown the ability to make adjustments throughout his time.
He's put on some good weight, and he's a competitor, and it's been great to watch him grow.
I might have to go through the show.

I don't know if it's a surprise.
I just think one thing that does happen, and this is obviously on the players, is sometimes in the heat of the moment,
he'd have the moment when a player feels something strongly, they make a decision that they
