right so so there's so there's basically there's one thing for it to measure out well and then you say okay that's great that on paper it measured out well what does it do when you actually throw it in the game can you throw it in the zone do the batters swing and miss and so far i i've only thrown nine of them ever and uh the seven of them were strikes and six of those strikes were a swing and miss for a strikeout so you know that's the the paper is matching the results so it's it's very promising was that in the dominican
I threw like three or four of them in my very last start in AAA.
And then, yeah, like five of them.
It's great.
This is.
Yeah.
And one thing that I that I just missed to talk about was the idea of that when you're an older pitcher and you're trying to get a job in AAA, AAA does not have the world's like second best pitchers overall.
It has some of them are the second best pitchers and some of them are just young guys that might become good and might not.
Whereas you have a bunch of older guys that play overseas internationally and in Mexico that are like they've reached their ceiling and their ceiling is better than the average AAA pitcher.
but not good enough to be an average major league pitcher.
But because teams believe that those pitchers are not going to improve anymore, they're just going to decline with age over time, they're never going to get a job back in affiliated baseball.
And so as a player that wants to be in affiliated baseball, you have to give a team a reason to believe that why you might be better in the future.
