Pretty good, man.

Glad to be back on the show.

Been a little bit.

Pretty thin, and I jumped onto the college side this year pretty consistently.

So I'm part of, you know, doing our top 25 and all of our day-to-day college coverage, which is obviously, you know, a big part of Baseball America and what we do here.

But, I mean, it all feeds itself.

Like, I'm more informed on college hitters coming into the draft and the next couple of drafts than I probably have been in a few years since I was on draft coverage years ago.

So that's helpful.

You know, it's fun.

There's a lot of baseball going on, major leagues.

All the levels of the minor leagues now that the Dominican Summer League kicked off a couple weeks ago.

We got college baseball.

I'm out here in Massachusetts, so we have the Cape Cod League, which is the top summer wooden bat league for college players.

Bat kicks off this weekend, and I got Little League going, and I'm coaching a Little League team out here.

So I'm always at a ball field, always watching baseball.

I think it drives my wife nuts, but I love it.

Yeah, no, I think it's, I think a lot of stuff has just kind of been hammered home.

You know, I especially when it comes to like more of a pro evaluation draft standpoint, I really think that going to college is a huge benefit for pitchers.

It's just really hard.

And I think we saw this with like how fast a guy like Trey Savage moved and the fact that he had pitched in pressure situations for multiple years, had pitched in big games against really good lineups and guys swinging.
