And as far as the podcast goes, I'm just trying to help my university out in Mississippi State any way I can.

Love that place, love what they did for me, and I'll always support them.

The what is the thing that do you do listen to podcasts?

First of all, not too much.

I'm so busy with baseball.

I listen to music, watch TV shows every now and again.

Are you a Netflix guy?

Just being in the big leagues, finally getting a taste of the big leagues.

You realize that all the problems you have in the minor leagues are still the same problems you have up here.

It's hard to hit a baseball.

It's hard to catch a baseball.

Baseball's hard.

It's hard at every level.

And you get up here and you realize people make mistakes up here, too.

So just everything you learn in the minor leagues kind of...

is a learning process in order to be here and have success.

So all the things I've learned through my life has helped me today.

Did you realize that before you got to the big leagues?

You never know until you're here.

You always have a thought process of things, but whenever you're here and you're seeing it every day, you learn new stuff.
