And when I was going through it the first time, it was COVID.
In terms of contracts, it was very murky because no one was really sure what they could do at the time.
In 2020, right after I was drafted, I don't think anybody was even giving out contracts because they weren't sure what the future looked like.
And then New Balance, I've...
I've kind of seen from afar, obviously, because I wasn't wearing their models, but a lot of pitchers have been wearing New Balance for a number of years, a lot of the pitchers that I've played with.
Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.
And, like, you know, when it's Mother's Day, Father's Day, Veterans Day, those sort of things, and you get the special edition cleats.
I always thought the New Bounce did a pretty cool job of, like, keeping it, like, a little bit more of my style.
Like, paying homage to the holiday, homage, homage, not really sure how you say it.
That's good.

Yeah, I don't really know if you could get much bigger than that.
It's pretty good.
How important is it?
for me specifically I mean it's like the only thing that I really have control over like for position players you know it's the elbow guard the batting gloves it's the whole deal but for me it's just like glove and spikes and it's something that I want to feel comfortable in I like just like
I don't want to like keep comparing, but like in terms of what I've worn in the past, it's a little bit more like a grounded feel.
And I feel like I could just like feel the mound really well with them.
Every now and then, a lot of times I feel like it's,
you know the guys that'll put some spikes on like a sneaker um like obviously nailer i feel like brought a big um like audience to it when he was like wearing 162 different pairs of cleats over the course of the year yeah yeah um you're not doing that no no not this year maybe in the future probably not but uh so and with that being said though too like this would be the first year that like i will be customizing a cleat to have like colors on it so um
Like, pretty basic.
