How did he get to the place to where he's at now through the minor leagues? How hard was he throwing when he was 17, 18? How did he get to where he's at now physically to be able to throw that hard?
15:55
Yeah, you know, I think it started around 2019.
15:59
That's when I started probably hitting around 95 miles an hour.
16:03
Then, you know, the next year the pandemic hit, and I think that was kind of a big jump that I took.
16:10
Even though we didn't play, you know, that was kind of where the velocity started to take up.
16:14
So when 21 came, all of a sudden I was throwing, you know, 90, 98, 97 around that.
16:20
So when I started going into the minor leagues, I think I started working on pitches, mechanics, but I think the big key for me was just persistence and just the hard work.
16:52
But for him, 98, just natural with that sink, what advice would you give to a 17, 18-year-old who wants to get that kind of velocity? And also, too, just another aspect of this too to be able to he comes he'll throw two wings come back he's on 98 again like there's no breakdown with him
