When you look at the Red Sox, when you look at what they do, so they draft you, they see all the potential, but I'm always fascinated about when they get you in the lab, when they start picking through you, when they say, hey, listen, we see that you did this.

And I'm not talking about the driveline thing.

But we see that you did this.

We want you to work on that.

And then we want you to work on this.

And then we want you to work on this.

There's all kinds of awesome stories in that respect.

And it's not just overnight.

And maybe you haven't hit that fork in the road.

I don't know.

But for you, what have the Red Sox said to you or sort of tried to ingrain in you, said, we want you to work on this?

Where were you before?

Are you in the best shape of your life?

One of the questions I always love asking baseball players, which nobody answers except Tyler O'Neal, what's your max bench?

What was your max bench?

Good answer.

Let me tell you a quick story about Tyler O'Neal when he was with the Red Sox.

He said, I said, Hey, he's like, he didn't shy away from Ben.

Oh, he wasn't a pitcher.

So we get that.
