I'm underneath the roof because it's windy.

Yeah, it was over the batter's eye.

It had to be 450.

It's just absolutely ridiculous what this kid's doing.

I'm actually working on a story right now talking to veteran players about what he's been able to do down here and the impression that he's made on him.

It's wild.

I'm almost like out of stuff to say.

He's hitting buildings.

He's putting them over batter's eyes.

It looks easy.

I mean, games need to start and we can actually see where this kid is at, but you can't hit batting practice in a better way for a 19 year old.

It's crazy.

How much do you think he plays out of the gate in spring training?

I think quite a bit actually.

I think that's something they need.

They need to stress test this and you know I I can get excited over batting practice.

You can anybody on social media can get excited.

It's still just batting practice.

You know they need to see what he can do and I hope too that he plays like the front half of games.

not the back half against minor leaguers.
