And it's unique with ABS on top of it.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

It's tailored to you.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Doug Glanville talks Cubs & MLB (Hour 4)

So in some ways that could be good.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Doug Glanville talks Cubs & MLB (Hour 4)

Because your zone is the zone now.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Doug Glanville talks Cubs & MLB (Hour 4)

It's like that fixed zone stays with you.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Doug Glanville talks Cubs & MLB (Hour 4)

It doesn't change because the whole plate umpire is umpire A versus umpire B. It doesn't change.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Doug Glanville talks Cubs & MLB (Hour 4)

So in some ways, it's like less to learn because that's your zone.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And that could help him a lot.

Lefties just getting reps over and over again and just seeing them and getting confidence.

I feel like Pete Crow Armstrong figures things out because there's no limit to Pete Crow Armstrong.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

That's what's fun about him because he just doesn't see like, oh, I'm going to have a goal and that's all I'm going to do.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

He's like, why not me?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And I'm going to be 30-30.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Doug Glanville talks Cubs & MLB (Hour 4)

Now who saw that a couple of years ago?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

But what I love about the value placed on his defense because everywhere we go, anytime I do Cubs games from whatever level,

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Doug Glanville talks Cubs & MLB (Hour 4)

They say that he's just a game-changing defender.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Doug Glanville talks Cubs & MLB (Hour 4)

And that says a lot about what he brings to the game.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Doug Glanville talks Cubs & MLB (Hour 4)

And I remember I interviewed with the Tampa Bay Rays years ago, and Eric Neander's front office there, I asked him why he signed Kevin Kiermaier, who was more of a defensive kind of, you know, first certainly glove guy, base runner, but not much of a hitter comparatively.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Doug Glanville talks Cubs & MLB (Hour 4)

And he said, never will defense be undervalued again.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

A player like Kevin Kiermaier deserves what he's able to do in changing the game by preventing runs.
