Yeah, just be me.

Kind of go out there and just try to win every pitch.

That's my goal.

It's the same game that I was playing in the minor league, same game here today.

I'm just going to be competing, playing as hard as I can.

That hasn't changed over the past two years, and it never will.

So as long as I can keep that same mentality, my skills will take over.

Just a little bit of everything.

You know, nervous, excited.

You know, this is something I've dreamed of for a long time, and it's finally happening.

And, you know, just super emotional with all my family that's been right by my side this whole journey.

And, you know, I'm just absolutely pumped to be here on, you know, opening weekend, get to play in front of the Pirates fan base for the first time.

I'm super excited for that.

Just being able to go have fun.

I think just getting back to that was important.

Not worrying about all this going on in spring training, just being able to go play games with my team in Indianapolis was really good for me.

But yeah, just getting back to doing what I do, playing super hard, just having a lot of fun on the baseball field.

I mean, a lot of them reached out.

I know Henry Davis, Jake Mangum, Nick York, those guys, Brandon Lau, they were all sending me texts around the same time.

So they were sending me texts, and that's just another part of it.
