And the first thing I want to talk about with you is the last time we spoke, we were speculating about.
Um, so here's the line through 12 major league games so far, Walker Jenkins consensus, like top 10, top 15 prospect hitting one 18 to 68 to 65.
That's a 58 WRC plus walking a healthy 14.6% of the time striking out 26.8% of the time.
Um, Worth negative 0.1 war so far in contrast to one Kaelin Culpepper who despite cooling down a little bit is about to eclipse a whole win above replacement in around 30 games, which is kind of remarkable in the opposite direction.
So any, you know, you said you haven't been watching much, but any reflections on what you've seen from Jenkins so far, any long-term calls for concern for a slow start, or is this just simply like, yeah, great that they're giving him this time and getting this out the way now.
So hopefully he can make the adjustment and he's ready to go and locked in for 27.
So he's probably been, been playing longer this year than, than, than most years.
What are the, what do the under the hood numbers that you like to refer to often? Like, what do they look like? Exit velocity, um, Swing, chase, all of those good things.
I mean, I think it's pretty obvious from watching him that he is not quite timed up on Major League pitching yet.
