a complete 100% or 180 flip to like an ideology.

Hitting the ball hard is still important.

Getting on base is still important.

Making contact, the quality of your contact is still important.

Those things have been around for a hundred years, but we just have a better idea of how to measure those things and areas that we can potentially attack to solve problems.

And that's what that group's done really well.

Yeah, and I also think, too, it depends on where players are at within their careers, too.

Our job in the big league level, like I said, we're fortunate that we have some really talented, homegrown players that have experienced development a certain way.

When we acquire a guy, like a Bregman or years ago, as an example, Trevor Story comes in.

you know, I think where we start is again, identifying the objective opportunities for a player to be better, right?

Like this is what makes you really good.

And that's why you're here.

And you have to know that because you're gonna have to lean into it when the game gets tough, but there's always this opportunity to raise your floor and, and,

that's where we spend a lot of time and effort in the background, working on identifying those things.

Where do we want to start?

And then ultimately, how do we want to create kind of checks and balances throughout the season?

And I just think that process is the most important part because at the end of the day, like player performances, it can be volatile, right?

We all know that the game can be volatile, but if you have processes in place to help you manage it,

it makes it easier to kind of stomach when things aren't, you know, maybe going the way you'd like, but you have indicators that it's going to turn.

So I think that's been probably the biggest, like I said, impact that we've, I guess, shift that we've seen in the last couple of years.
