So it kind of looks similar, but.
Yeah, pretty much just the grip, trying to stay more behind the baseball, you know, trying to get the below back up to like 86, 87 on a gyro slider.
But yeah, I'm pretty happy with it right now.
Always going to improve it, but for the most part, I'm pretty happy with it.
So I've actually thrown a splitter since high school.
And that actually used to be like one of my best pitches.
I used to throw all the time.
But once I got to the Blue Jays, I kind of just lost feel for it a little bit.
But these past couple of years, I've kind of just gained a little bit of feel for that more.
And actually my last start, I threw probably the most I've ever thrown it in game.
So that was really cool to see.
Yeah, I've probably changed it, like, eight times.
I don't know.
Sometimes it feels good one day, and then the next day it just feels really weird.
But the grip I have right now feels pretty comfortable, so...
Yeah, I'd say I was kind of born like that.
I'm saying I'm pretty like a chill guy.
I don't really talk too much or go too like crazy, like on a strikeout or really get too high.
But, you know, I really just try to stay male out there, trying to focus on one pitch at a time.
And I don't know, that's really just been installed in me since I was really young.
