What did the recruitment look like for you? What had you end up landing at Fresno State? Was there maybe draft aspirations out of high school for you? What did that kind of process look like?

So there really wasn't like too much draft, you know, aspirations.

I played like some scout ball, you know, throughout high school.

But, you know, getting into like picking the college, Fresno State was my first offer.

So, you know, just being from so close to Fresno, it was like the perfect match for me.

Honestly, they have a hard-nosed program.

They teach guys how to work hard and not take anything for granted.

Can you unpack a little bit how you guys overlapped and what that connection was as a couple of guys from the West Coast?

Uh, adopting into that a little more, uh, take me through that.

Uh, adopting the leg kick, man, before was like a, a short leg lift where I was, like, kinda inconsistent, really didn't have the consistency.

And then once I got to GBAP camp after I got drafted, it was more so how can we maximize you getting to a spot every time and staying consistent? And we were able to do that with the leg kick.

And from there, it's more so, like, feeling the, the consistency of getting my leg up on time, being in the air on time, moving forward on time.

And with that, I'm making good contact and good barrel path to the baseball.

Yeah

...

it feels, it feels awesome.
