Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

So I played through that transition.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

And during that time, like I obviously came up learning the old school baseball stuff where like,

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

What you learned and where you learned it was pre- and post-game, talking to teammates and coaches about the game that we already played or the moment that just happened or whatever.

JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

Now, I think, especially because I've had the opportunity to play in AAA and even in Mexico in the DR with some younger players, I've seen that...

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

in my opinion, and I might get roasted for this, but I feel like a lot of young players are now doing the game of baseball instead of playing the game of baseball because nobody's taught them how to play it, if that makes sense.

So with that being said, the answer to your question is I came up without the data.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

Obviously, now data is king.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

So, of course, I was using the tools and the iPads and the track bands to get my data because...

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

To get a locker, the data's got to essentially say that I'm going to be able to get people out.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

So I've got to figure out how to get this data to say that I'm good enough to play here so that I can play there.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

And then once you're there, it's like, well, at some point...

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

You've got to get the hitter out, too.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

It's not just data.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

So then you go and you pitch and you compete, and hopefully you get as many guys out as you can, and the data syncs up with how well you're doing, and then you get another opportunity, and the sky's the limit.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

But it's definitely an interesting time in the game of baseball.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

I know a lot of old-school baseball guys probably are not super happy with it, but this is the world that we live in.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

When I got to the big leagues, we couldn't do what we're doing right now.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Brandon Valenzuela's Future + Nolan Perry & Shane Greene

just on the phone, you know?

Blue Jays Talk

So like times, times has changed.

So adapt or die.
