Checking the Pitching Market + Rays' Hitting with Coach Chad Mottola

Like I said, it could be catching the ball.

It could be base running.

It could be bunting.

It could be power.

But that's what we've always done well in all parts of the game is find out what you're good at and build off that and try to, you know, sprinkle in some other clubs in there as well.

Blair & Barker

I mean, just the skill set of covering all the different pitches.

Blair & Barker
Checking the Pitching Market + Rays' Hitting with Coach Chad Mottola

These guys with different arm angles, different spin, four-seam, two-seam cut, sweepers now.

It's just having different lanes available.

That's what Aranda, Yandy, Cammy do.

They have different swing paths available.

We're working out with some of the younger guys with all the tech out there.

Blair & Barker

There's new information out here that proves that you can match certain pitch types and certain pitch types you don't do well against.

Blair & Barker

And that's part of our roster construction as well.

Blair & Barker
Checking the Pitching Market + Rays' Hitting with Coach Chad Mottola

I think the last probably year and a half with all the swing path and bat plane and things like that, it's true information.

Blair & Barker

This whole launch angle stuff and exit velocity, I think that was a false narrative.

Blair & Barker

As you know, we want to catch the ball out front for a little more power.

Blair & Barker
Checking the Pitching Market + Rays' Hitting with Coach Chad Mottola

There's no secret about that, but that has nothing to do with the launch angle and things like that.

Blair & Barker
Checking the Pitching Market + Rays' Hitting with Coach Chad Mottola

I think it got a little sideways for a couple of years, but I think some of the technology that truly matches some of the pitches and the bat paths you can create is a new step in a big direction.

Blair & Barker
Checking the Pitching Market + Rays' Hitting with Coach Chad Mottola

That's going to be very helpful.

Blair & Barker

I think I do because I don't have to do anything.
