I mean, that's 100% a real thing. I think in baseball that you just kind of never know.
okay that was yeah what about my stuff yeah right right but yeah it was definitely definitely a weird scenario for me yeah and you Kyle you knew you were gonna get traded or you basically you know but you had a good feeling in Baltimore that you were gonna get traded yeah I had a pretty good stretch of baseball with the Orioles last year kind of around this time of year and and still kind of got sent back down and after that I was like okay well maybe this won't be the place where where I'd be for a while and I was actually in the tubs when I found out um I just got out of the tubs and uh
They said, hey, Connor Norby and one other player got traded to the Marlins. And I went and checked my phone and I had a missed FaceTime call from our GM, Mike Elias. And I was like, yeah, I think I'm the other player.
19 to 22, and then 23 and 24 as well.
You go first. Yeah, mine was unique. I was a COVID replacement player. Wait, what does that mean? Yeah, so when the team traveled to Toronto, if the guys weren't vaccinated, they couldn't go.
So yeah. So I was getting texts from like our travel guy like the week before. He was like, hey, do you have your passport on you? And so I was like looking at the schedule and I saw that Toronto was coming up and I was like, oh shoot, like this could be happening. And so yeah, that's how I initially debuted.
now the rules of or the like just the roster rules of baseball is unbelievable to me I've never heard of the upper mobility clause that's you know people always ask how much longer are you gonna be with this team and I go I don't know they have control over me for forever yeah it's just it's so weird nothing comes from them too like a lot of guys told me these never work
Yeah, that was 23 for me. I had a pretty good spring, made the team, and just wasn't playing. And I had a pretty good 22 and thought maybe I was going to get the chance to play more frequently. But obviously with the Orioles, there was a ton of good players.
And definitely some mind games happens with that when you feel like you're doing everything in your control and then still not kind of cracking the roster consistently.
Yeah. I mean, I think of it as kind of like iron sharpens iron. You know what I mean? Like you're all trying to, you know, kind of lift each other up by pushing each other. And, you know, I've always kind of felt like for me that if I take care of my stuff, then like I'll end up where I'm supposed to be.
I feel like happens semi-frequently, you know, a couple of different times, you know, whether it's performance or injuries, you know, I had a lot of injuries in the end of 23. Um, and I'm getting like hitting the face at the end of the year and like felt very, very far, uh, by, by the pitch. Yeah. Like how fast? Yeah. 93 fastball.
I, yeah. I would have ducked.
And then I actually wanted to show my toughness, so I just stayed in there a little bit longer. Yeah. Kept my eye on the ball.
Where did it hit you? Like right, like kind of like in between my eye and my nose.
Yeah. So I missed like two weeks and the rest of the year when I was facing lefties, I was like stepping out of the box. Like I was scared of the ball for, you know, for the rest of the season, which was only a couple more weeks, but it took me a little bit to get comfortable in there again.
Yeah.
Yeah. I did a ton of stuff with, uh, we had a bunch of like performance psychologists, like with the Orioles or, or performance coaches and a couple of them worked with the Navy, uh,
And so, you know, it was also really humbling to talk to them about like something I was like scared of from a performance standpoint because they're, you know, like it's also like, oh, like you guys deal with people who actually deal with life and death. And so it put me in a little bit of my place. I love that.
I don't grasp the guy. Communications. Okay. Yeah, he's the smartest. He's a communicator.
Yeah, I would say probably more those guys, the baseball guys. Some people care about sports, some people don't. You'd be surprised by how many people are not out on a Friday night. Did you meet any of those future billionaires? I feel like I did not do a good enough job of networking there.
