But it's one of these things that just...

It's no secret.

You just got to stick to your strength, and you have to stick to who you are as a DNA, who you are as a player.

Discovering yourself, and that's why I give Chandler so much credit, is because he knows who he is already, and he doesn't even have a full year in the big leagues yet.

The simplest way I could say is you have to be yourself.

So with all these different techniques of hitting and things like that, it's great, like I said, to explore, but you have to know who you are.

And being athletic is being you.

And that's what we do so well as an organization, is whether it's pitching, hitting, fielding, defense,

is we figure out what you do well, and we try to repeat that over and over and put you in a situation where your skill set will serve you good purpose.

So the best way I can say is athletic is just being yourself.

Like I said, you're going to explore ways to do things.

You're going to experiment on ways to search for more power, for more coverage at different pitches.

But you have to stay true to your DNA, whether that's a contact hitter, whether that's the gap hitter, whether that's the home run hitter.

But you have to learn these things, what you are.

And that's what, like I said, from Eric to Cashy, they let me do that as a coach as well.

Yeah, it's good seeing you, man.

Great seeing you guys.

It's always great to be in Toronto.

Awesome.

Happy for you, dude.
