Lance Brodzowski

But I'm saying that because the way you unlock the higher rung of performance for him and you make this contract that he just signed looked very team friendly is if he can get on base more,

I think we need probably about like a 15 to 20 game sample of his chase rate and some of the other metrics just to understand how he's swinging, where he's swinging.

I don't want to, I don't think I've looked yet actually at what his chase rate is and what his OBP is.

I want to give it a little more time as opposed to like assuming that one weekend is enough for us to assume that he stopped chasing or he's chasing more.

It hasn't changed.

So that's really what I'm locked on.

It's just a tough, it's a tough call to make as to whether he's now unlocked this other ability of his game.

Um,

I don't think it's going to be something that is immediately unlocked, though.

Like it may take some time, but I'm encouraged by the fact that he has said this.

And Bregman's also said in some press conferences from spring training, like swing decisions are incredibly important.

And the more you can corral Pete into the zone, stop him from chasing, the more damage he's going to do and the more frequently he's going to get on base.

No, I think he's got a shot at getting a start or two.

He's really electric.

He's a big dude.

He's got a higher slot.

So I wouldn't comp him to like Ben Brown, but that aesthetic of pitcher where it's super tall on the mound, a little over the top, and he rides his fastball really well, throws really hard.

The thing with him is just the fastball quality is so exceptionally good.

The problem is that he hasn't really zoned the pitch enough right now, and I believe even in that first start,

at Iowa that he had over the weekend or was that Friday?
