And I'm still able to hit high pitches and everything.

I can still hit the forcing fastball, all of that.

But it just helps me get to those low pitches a little bit better so I don't smother them into the ground.

And could you notice, because the first time you sort of were able to implement that in a game was Puerto Rico, right?

Yeah, it was weird in Puerto Rico.

That was my first time ever, like, um...

Applying it and playing with my hands like that.

So I was thinking about it and stuff the whole time, like moving them down and making sure they were awkward.

Yeah, I felt awkward at first, but I kind of needed that because now it feels normal.

Like I just get into the box and my hands are there now.

Before I was like working in the mirror, videoing myself, doing all these things at home, trying to work these things out.

So whenever I came to camp,

I would be ready, but Puerto Rico came up in the middle.

It's good, though.

You had that.

That's what I'm saying.

It's a good thing.

I actually got to work it out down there.

I was just DH-ing and working on that and getting myself in a comfortable position to where I could come into camp in a comfortable space because I needed that.

So I didn't come here and have to think about, all right, move my hands down, do this with my feet.
