Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Man, is this what's possible now?
I remember this.
Yeah, it's interesting because you go from watching, again, some of these pitchers, some of these defenders who aren't quite there by day and then by night going and watching the World Series and just realizing Mookie Betts making shortstop look easy.
And it's not easy.
Seeing Otani Homer, when you're just like, oh, man, I got excited by a 106 Homer today.
And it's just like, well, he's out here hitting at 112.
It's a reminder of what the end goal is for a lot of these guys.
But I'll give credit to
my uh mlb pipeline teammate jonathan mayo who was doing research yesterday 21 of the 52 players in the world series right now have come through the arizona fall league i think one thing that we get too hung up on is that these guys are years away where it's going to be a while it isn't necessarily i mean these guys and in many cases yes it's lost innings lost at bats whatever
A lot of them are good prospects with the goal of being there.
And one fascinating thing down here is Glendale has both Blue Jays prospects and Dodgers prospects on the same team.
I don't think there's like a rivalry or like anybody side-eyeing anybody, anything like that.
But it's just the dynamic that happens down here.
And you never know, even if they're on different teams now, who could be teammates down the line.
I remember Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
being down here and like that was a huge show.
And now we're seeing the Vlad Jr.
that was promised.
So as much as it seems like, oh, that's a galaxy away of that's at the pinnacle of the sport.
