Thanks, Layla.

I appreciate it.

Good to be with you guys.

Yeah.

So it started, I think it was like in the off season or at some point in passing, I had heard him like in an interview or Reddit, how he had talked to Caleb or observed about his recovery.

And so it just kind of sparked in me.

Like I want to ask him just if he's taken anything away from Caleb, whether it be just observing or talking to him.

And so that's kind of how it all started.

But part of the hit was that.

And then part of the hit was just my own observations, seeing him come into spring and,

Looking at him, thinking he looked a lot stronger.

I've kind of joked with him before.

I said to him last year, I'm like, I feel like I've watched you grown up before my eyes because I've known him now for a while, especially doing Road to Wrigley and just following him through the minors.

And he kind of laughed and he has said, I think I am still growing.

That's what he was saying last year.

So that's why, you know, as I just kind of.

See him day to day.

And then, of course, spring is a time where since you're not around the guys for a bit and then you see them, you just kind of notice, you know, little things like that.

And that's how the conversation started about just his routines, his recovery.

So tying all that in just to kind of what he's doing to keep improving his game.
