What other tools do we need to add in the toolbox to maximize the value of that kind of superpower?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's, it's, it's just like everything else in baseball.
Like we've been very reactive to things like recent performance versus like long-term trends.
Right.
Like, so it's understanding like, where are we at with this pitch?
Is this something that's brand new?
And okay.
We've got to really focus on the movement versus like, okay, this is Brian Beto's change up that he's thrown since he's was four years old.
Who really cares what shows up on the track man that day?
Because we know like,
what like we haven't seen any negative regression in its movement over time so we're going to really focus on the locations in the bullpen um it's just yeah understanding where we're at with each player and are we fine-tuning or are we developing a new pitch or is it hey we just got to really locate these things better over the plate another another um
