I think, um, you know, the guys that made the most adjustments throughout the year, you just, you can kind of look at the progressions, whether that's simplifying an element of their approach or their swing, but just trying to be as precise as they can, especially when they're, you know, when they're in the box and if the situation dictates it, being able to downshift and execute, um,

Trevor Story is a great example of that this year.

I thought he did a tremendous job with that, especially as he kind of turned the quarter after May.

But I think just to answer your overall question, the game's just – it's moving.

It's fast.

It's faster than it's ever been.

Obviously, the matchups make it tougher, and we have to maximize our precision, which I think is the most important piece.

I don't think it's I don't think we it was like a philosophical shift.

I think, you know, like our goal is to maximize getting on base as an offense.

Right.

I think like putting guys putting yourself in consistent position to score runs requires guys on base.

And then, you know, when you hit the three run, you know, you hit a home with a couple of guys on.

Yeah, there's a separator there, but you have to continually put yourself in position to score runs.

I think some of the early punch outs, obviously it's a byproduct at times of personnel, but I also think some of it was early parts of the season, offense, kind of just slow start in general.

But for sure, the conversation about strikeouts was something that...

For us, when we were, I think it was like 27th at one point to start the year, we're like, hey, this is an area of opportunity for us.

Yes, we have the ability to hit the ball hard.

We can slug.

We can run the bases.

We're very athletic.
