Pretty much I want you, I want you to take us back to like the beginning and where did your baseball journey start, and when did playing at the college level pretty much become a realistic goal for you?

Yeah.

So I mean, I think like growing up, my dad was just always there to like hit ground balls, do all that, you know, the extra stuff that, you know, you always love.

But I think what really got me into it was like there was a program back in Rhode Island back in the day called Rhode Island Race, and that like really got me into baseball.

Um, you know, and I think it's like we were driving 45 to an hour every day, and I feel like back then, like that was unheard of.

Like you're not driving that far.

You're playing for your super local team, and that kind of got me started, got me into it.

I kinda want you to dive in depth on like that situation 'cause a coaching tran- uh, transition is a hard thing to deal with, let alone just trying to play in general.
