I think I'm a little bit of a Caglione skeptic in terms of the hype behind him, because part of why he was so interesting coming out of Florida was the fact that he was a two-way prospect. And obviously, that was coming at the height of Shohei Ohtani, I think, blowing everyone's minds, doing what he did, doing what he's done, excuse me, for as long as he's done. That's right.

You look at a guy like Pete Alonzo, who is like a prodigious power hitter for this generation, a guy who hits moonshots and has a higher exit velocity than most guys. What I really look to see when a guy comes up is A guy can get hot for the first month of a season, and that especially happens a lot with prospects.

But when the league adjusts back to them and they start picking out the holes in their swing and the holes in their approach, are they able to adjust back? And at that point, I think it's easier for me to be like, oh, that guy's going to be very good.

I just always am a little bit skeptical of a lot of hype going behind a guy who obviously has a lot of power, but could be a little bit more limited in terms of his value ceiling.

White Sox. White Sox.

Yeah, I mean, I think I've always been curious about what it's like to step into the batter's box against a major league pitcher.

And I thought that Adam in particular was an interesting person because of his kind of role in the sabermetric evolution of the sport and his sweeper kind of being one of those pitches that I think a lot of young players today coming up have said that kind of helped them rethink their approach on the mound and kind of their arsenal. So that part was really interesting.

So that part was really interesting.

But the second reason I thought it was really interesting is like, we live in a time where the average major league reliever, almost starting pitcher too, is pumping at least 95 to 100. And Adam is 40 years old, and at the time was still kind of had these major league opportunities. Adam was kind of on the lower end of the velocity spectrum.
