fouling back balls you're on a two strike count taking a pitch that's barely missing the zone what's kind of changed if anything has changed in the way that you think about the the swing decisions the balls that are coming in like how you know for someone that isn't in the batter's box when you see a ball come out of a pitcher's hand is there something that's causing you to you know take a little bit of more of a second or half a second to look at that ball and make that decision on it in the moment

No, you don't have that much time.

So it's really like being okay with just trusting your instincts.

You've been doing this all your life.

You just got to trust yourself.

You got to trust your eyes.

You got to trust how your body reacts.

What have been some of your experiences with that?

So that made it easier for me to make the decision to say, okay, this is something I can do and this is what I want to pursue.

Yeah, kind of the same for me.

I grew up in a football loving family.

And then, as you know, I got sick when I was five years old.

So that led me to play non-contact sports.

And that's when I really locked in on track and field.

And Who really inspired me was my older brother.

What have been some of your experiences with that?
