I think one way to

kind of quantify him as I think John Smoltz is an excellent analyst and an announcer for baseball.

And to hear him talk about him with the admiration, he talks about him for a little bit of, you know, the two years he's basically pitched.

You can tell even somebody like John Smoltz is like, who's one of the most clutch post-season pitchers that were at least my, when I was growing up and very successful and, you know, Hall of Fame career, everything else and hear him talk about him.

and how amazed he is with what he's doing, it kind of gives credibility to beyond being the best pitcher in baseball.

Well, I think that if you go back, like the person that probably was on this before it was something was Greg Maddox, right?

You know, he used to talk about the ball being like five to 10 feet away, and then it goes a different direction.

It can be coming at a different speed.

Well, now with the technology, we can see everything that's going on with the velo being, you know, over the top right now, it adds to like this dimension.

It shows why hitting is the,

you know, arguably the hardest thing in sports to do when you, especially when you're facing a lot of these elite pitchers and he's able to do it where, I mean, he's just, he's throwing four different like versions of fastballs that are 97 to a hundred miles an hour that are making a different move coming out of the same tunnel at the very end.

And then we aren't even talking about the breaking ball, like the sliders and the stuff that are less speed.

So I don't know.

I don't know how somebody hits them and really nobody has.

And it's,

It's a credit.

It's probably a lot of work and a lot of discipline.

And, you know, that's why he's, he's the best pitcher in baseball right now.

It's been a lot of fun.

Like, you know, I think back in my career and I actually had to go look and, um, it came, there was two baseball world baseball classics in my, in my short, it's a very, when it started, it was the end of my career.
