 Hi everybody, happy new year. Good evening. Our last break of the night is going to be 2022 Bowman Draft Baseball Jumbo Edition 8 box pick your team number 10 all card ship a lot of great stuff about an hour long break So let's let's get into we'll do a recap at the end of this if you're rewatching this video You can just skip to the end if you want to But you might miss the inside jokes, so I don't know depends on what your priorities are Pick your team 10. Thanks everybody for it So Kevin officially got last spot mojo at star next to his name 70% of the time last spot mojo hits a hundred percent of time if you have a little rooftop next to your name I mean do one that spot in the team random filler that we did That double rooftop from Cody means that he won an extra spot in the team random then got randomized the light socks so on and so forth so Thanks everybody this case open Let's see what we got here so six box break Should take this out of our inventory system. I got to get used to doing that before I start the video And we got another case of jumbo loaded up Jaspies case breaks calm if you want to take a look at that and We've got two box super jumbo breaks available as well Those are random team breaks and the next two boxer. I believe is from a fresh case So if that matters to you be sure to check that out. All right, and away. We go. So in jumbo you get three autographs per box on average spring is Around the corner, which means pitchers and catchers reporting spring training is gonna happen Hope springing eternal for so many teams. I think pretty much except for Carl's, Korea His deal is still up in the air. I think we're still kind of figure out what's happening there But but that's pretty much the only big name That's kind of out there in the wind Joe Pizzle of course Is It Arizona and he's got a little sideline Getting some autographs for it from some prospects So it's that time of year for Joe Pizzle as well. I gotta go out with him Sometime on the on an outing Joe. I'm trying to carve out some the next time I'm gonna be in Arizona my friend his wife and his kids Live Right like kind of around the corner maybe half a mile a mile from the From the talking stick facilities Where the diamond backs and Rockies shared that monster facility there? salt flats salt River flats in Scottsdale Now if I'm if I pop in for a quick weekend Not quite sure if the schedule will allow me to I mean, I'll just basically have to get the salt River fields, right? So I basically will have to met the behest of this the baseball schedule Some have to work around just work schedule and not game schedules So I don't know if I could make it across town Where the Dodgers are so I may be? limited to the Limited to the salt River area Which is fine. There's a lot. I don't mind too much But I just love like getting the the feel of spring training baseball. I Think I did take a little longer Just of the way the holidays fell. I was able to to carve out a sort of a longer vacay over the holidays I don't think that I think that might be the same next year These aren't numbered by the way, so I'll just breeze by these so I don't think it's gonna be the same thing this upcoming year So maybe I'll save Do less holiday time This upcoming year and maybe save a little bit longer time for spring training in 2024 I Sort of a longer trip. I don't know figure that out because I kind of want to Do a sort of deeper experience Oh, yeah, the Giants are right there too Giants facilities right there and we got cutter coffee To 499 right. Yeah, I definitely want to see some more action, but I want to dip my toes in it Maybe this year. There's Judd Fabian our first of Three autos in this box 130 out of 150 Bartholomew with the Orioles second-round pick to Mark Johnson paper for Chris Butler and the Pirates now since this since this is a draft A lot of spring training. We're looking at a lot. A lot of kids will be invited to camp Joe. Who are Joe Pizzle who are? Who are some up-and-coming names that you're looking for Joe's a big baseball guy, so he knows this stuff At the very least knows who everyone else is chasing, you know, so Who are some of the big names that that you're trying to chase this spring? Jackson Kurio. Yeah for the That's the Brewer's Kurio, right Jason Kurio is the is Cleveland. Yeah, you know Craig Council. Oh There's Ellie Della Cruz right there That'll go to Joe Pizzle so you can yeah, so now Joe you mean the paper you can get him to sign that So Brewer's manager Craig Council was saying during over the winter meetings You know just because the Brewer's kind of going through some changes here that they're like hey We may even just if Jackson Kurio has a good camp We may just start him You know I mean We may just We may call him up forget about service time Henry Williams Padres, so Michael Higgins So I think they're pretty high on that kid And Ellie Della Cruz for the Reds. All right. Those are some names to look at is Ellie Della Cruz Gonna get a major league job this year There's Cole Young purple paper to one to 250 that is for the Ems. That'll be for John There's a Jason Kurio Jackson's brother. He's pretty good Jason Kurio supposed to be pretty good, too It's possible. They need one more year for Ellie Della Cruz. I guess I don't know who are the Who are the rookies that are Where the rookies are gonna be chasing in 2023 product There's Joe Joe Salas Jose Salas 117 out of 199 Aqua lava for Devin and the Marlins I don't think I'm really paying attention. I guess we'll have to find out who's actually gonna come out of camp and But like when series one comes out like who's gonna be like the rookie that we're chasing in in series one Or early season product It's Andrew Pintar speckle Parallel not number little ship Oscar Colas, maybe Jackson holiday, of course We're looking at him to appear in a couple years or so For the Orioles Bartholomew It's Elijah Green for Jake Joe for the Nationals. Yeah, a lot of a lot of Well, the Orioles and bad for all my towers. So they've been able to draft pretty high and Some of those prospects are now starting to bear fruit There's Troy Melton to 499 refractor autograph for Detroit will be for Justin. All right, that was box one We'll do an autograph recap at the end. We got our three autos Rex is hoping is thinking Oscar Colas is gonna be a beast on Hill Martinez Maybe made the 40 man for the for the Guardians. Oh There you go. There's a name I'm trying to think of like hyped names from like these draft products that are finally gonna be rookies Anthony Volpe Should be should have the RC on his card starting 2023, right? Same with the RC logo. Yeah, that's one of the names. That's one of the names Yeah, you got to think Volpe. He's got to be called up, right? Volpe Volpe. Yeah, I think he was drafted right out of high school All right, he was he had committed to Vanderbilt, but I think he got drafted got a nice bonus Back in 2019 1920 20 he's about 21 years old, but he'll be 22 at the end of this April. So yeah, he's that's That's about time, right? If he has a nice camp, he might be well, he might skip triple a Or maybe they'll service time him and he'll be in triple a for a month And if he rakes there Who Corbin Carroll RC logo is Adley Adley Rusman wasn't RC logo last year Maybe he's RC logo this year All right, oh holiday Another Jack and all that paper Casas for Boston Tristan Casas. There we go. All right, so there'll be some there'll be some names that That have been kind of hyped in years prior. We're finally starting to see those guys coming up It'll be good to see oh Josh young for Texas. All right, that's another name That's kind of what I love about who Francisco Alvarez, right? That's the Mets catching prospect That would be nice Big market team The catcher who can hit People always love a catcher who can hit and on a team that's gonna get a lot of TV time this year Have they released like the the national baseball schedule yet like the TV schedule? I don't think so, right all the ESPN Sunday nights Sunday night baseballs and Fox national games and all that sort of stuff It's arovera for the Angels It'll be for Tim But I feel like we're gonna see a lot of a lot of the New York Mets on National television There's a Jackson holiday chrome For the Orioles that's for Bart I'm talking about Anthony Volpe right here Who are some players? What about some rookies last year? That could have a bounce back sophomore year oftentimes. There's a sophomore slump, right? Oh Cole young Mariners All right, so first of all we got Marco Luciano to 199 Michael with the Giants Michael P and then Mariners chrome prospect autograph for Seattle John Under had an well, I guess he was injured for chunks of time, right? If you put But I feel like he was hitting well when he was healthy I would love to see him put together, you know, like 150 plus games and just rake that'd be good for the hobby Torkelson, you know what happened here. Look at that. The machine must have caught this Yeah, wanderer Spencer Torkelson. I feel like there's question marks about About Joey Bart, you know Giants, you know, he was supposed to be a Guy the guy and he's got big footsteps to follow but behind Buster Posey, but Kalanick He yeah, even though he wasn't a rookie last year He needs to bounce back Yeah, that would be nice Brenner Cox 199 Yeah, I mean that would be good for the hobby say it says I fed it Suzuki had a decent I feel like injuries caught up with him, too But I feel like he had a decent season last year. I'm talking more like Guys that look like just I just weren't very good, you know Like Torkelson just wasn't very good, you know And that that's like a player that that still has you give him a long leash just because of the You know the draft position and the pedigree and all that sort of stuff I'm talking more like those sort of players And Kalanick could be could be certainly in there Suzuki is in that sort of Wander category where there's where injuries really do we have them more than just ineffectiveness There's drew a Thorpe So actually I think that was The redemption was our first of three autos in this box and this is our second true Thorpe Although Mike Tower likes Riley Green more than Spencer Torkelson. I'd like to see Riley Green do well, too Paper Elijah Green for Jake and the Nats Noel v. Marte Get the call for the Reds We're talking about Jordan Lawler, too Joe Pizzles Diamondbacks has a little They've got a crop of youngsters that could you know, they're a little head of schedule Could be fun to watch and behind Nick York is Trace Sweeney to 250 if we only get two autos out of here There's the first three and there's only two Did I miss one? I think I did maybe we'll have an extra auto in the next box Trace Sweeney to a 250 will be for the Yankees that'll go to That'll go to Devon in New York. My tower scouting a Scouting Jackson holiday. He's a six-tool player the six-tool being being his hairdo a little sunshine for member the Titans Trevor Lawrence have that sort of look too, right? Ah Gabriel Moreno Joe Pizzle is saying Speaking of why are the Dimebacks and Suns selling part of the share of all the Suns? I guess Rex not really following up on this Suns. Oh principal owner I Got into a lot of trouble for a for a hostile work environment a lot of a lot of crude jokes To both men and women a lot of a lot of n-word dropping There was a whole thing about it. They did a big investigation big report and so And although he wasn't explicitly told to sell the team. I think I think just all the reports there You know just naturally led to public outrage Which you know And I think he's like it's probably best for me to sell my majority share of the team blah, blah, blah, and there's Jayce young I believe this is a one-per-case. I think this is Josh Young's brother younger brother Justin with the Tigers So yeah, so that's why the Suns are being sold have been sold. I think I think some hedge fund dude bought bought the Suns So I think that ownership drama is finally Finally over team can move on which is probably for the best There's Walter Ford 48 out of 199 John with that one Yeah, well Hey, he's a he's a public figure. That's there's a very big difference You know Rex you can say whatever you want You know in the privacy of your own home, but you're not running a multi-billion dollar franchise, right? You're not in the public eye You know, there's Some just as a professional. There's some responsibilities that you have And when you're running an organization, it's not just a corner store, you know So yeah, I mean, I think You're under the microscope Although I have to say that the the former Suns owner stuff was pretty bad, you know It's not like I don't know. I'm trying to think of a I Mean it's all degrees right, but I but I mean it's like maybe like the John Gruden emails, right? It may be you know inappropriate you know Not something you want to you want to say But if you just read what what the Sun donor did it was it's just pretty bad Why people have a tell I mean it's not I mean, it's like you're running a multi-billion dollar franchise and if you're a bad leader You know, I think that's why the attention is there and You know You know, you're responsible for For that workplace, you know, there's certain things that come with that responsibility for running a multi-billion dollar professional basketball franchise Yeah, and he was cheap, right There's Kansas City that'll be for Tim. Zack needle go to the angels also for Tim 99 So it was legitimate legitimately bad. This isn't like woke police coming after you know Coming after him. It was definitely a lot of just workplace stuff that you just shouldn't do especially as a as a leader As a the owner. It's like stuff just owners just can't do But when you run a franchise like that you're you open yourself up to Up to public scrutiny like I say, it's not like he was owning he was running a Corner store that no one cares about Major franchise But the diamond back selling part ownership that I don't know what's going on there I feel like I've get the sense just around the sporting world Remember Bart gets all of those Those jacks in the holidays jake gets all of the nationals. I feel like a lot of clubs are selling stakes of their team Just because I don't know maybe Valuations of teams are at an all-time high. What does the Sun sell for? You know, I know my soccer club Liverpool is looking to sell part ownership You know or maybe sell the entire team There's a couple other teams are just kind of exploring those ideas. Hey You know, they look at like how much Chelsea football club sold for they look at what the Sun sold for You know, they look at what the Clippers sold for not to you know a few years ago You know, then you start to think You know if if the Washington commanders if they sell, you know, yeah four billion for both the Suns and the Mercury So when you start seeing all that You know, then you see then you cut then you start thinking about owners who are like, huh? Can I can I cash in a little bit here on these valuations? There's Jonathan Cannon paper to 499 for the white sock that'll be for Cody So you start thinking that a Logan Tanner for the Reds Class of 2022 autograph gold refractor parallel That is for I'm pretty sure it's Joe Pizzle Joe Pizzle nice got into the team random Got the Reds and gets a Logan Tanner. I don't know much about this guy, but hopefully he's good It's a gold parallel to all right. Very nice this Joe. So he's happy if he's happy. I'm happy So that's our third auto of the box No, we'll get two in the other one. Maybe we'll get a bonus auto somewhere We do say on average. So we just kind of have to live with it Which jerseys would look nice with a jazzy's patch on it like if we were to sponsor like a sleeve patch I don't know any any any jerseys with the with a There's Drew Thorpe To 50 any like white jerseys any like home jersey would any patch would work well against that background Maybe not with pinstripes All right next box. Oh How about that Joe? Devon's got a fun little idea after you redeem the redemption you should get him to sign the redemption I remember at the height of the Luca Donchich rookie card Like This was even pre-pandemic The height of Luca Donchich rookie card chasing and just collecting frenzy. I remember people selling redeemed Redemptions of him on eBay For not like an instinctive amount of money, I think like maybe like 50 60 bucks a pop Or something like that And it was there were there was no it like in the title. It was like redeemed redemption Description this has been redeemed and people are selling for like 50 60 bucks. I'm trading it. Yeah, Husky Dolphin at the height of like Luca Donchich Luca Donchich chasing collecting Is that still happening? Yeah, they still do for the higher end cards Yeah, there is a market for expiry. It's crazy Mike's asking when a player sitting down and signing sheets of stickers How many autos can they sign in one sitting before getting tired or sore? I don't know but I have seen Maybe a few years ago at a Panini event. I remember seeing Remember seeing some players Maybe packs in the Lynch was one of those guys Carrying three ring binders and I want to say Some of you like at work may have like mailing labels or shipping labels or something like that I think there were like labels however big a sticker is right You know, maybe just Maybe four across Does that make a full page? Yeah So maybe those small stickers about four across and then all the way down So they were carrying those around with the special pens and just kind of I Think they're just encouraged just to sign, you know, whenever you have a chance basically, you know, let's say Let's say I don't know you're sitting on a plane, you know traveling to the next game You know take a little time sign some stickers. It's all money You know at these events they'll get them to sit down for an hour and just be like Hey sign as much as you can turn in those stickers regularly to us so we can start using them There's Sidon Raffella to 199 paper Maybe they're on a trainer's table. Their legs are getting worked on Just sign some stickers. There's Walter Ford To 150 and Dylan Lesko for the Padres Michael Higgins with the Fryers Yeah, I guess people are buying those expired redemption try to flip them for points or care packages Joe Pizzle has a buddy that sent in a 90s collector's choice basketball redemption You laugh when he said he was going to contact them, but they ended up They ended up responding to him said they'll Said to mail it to them. They'll send a care package Hmm. I'm not collector's choice, but whatever was it was like a top thing. It's John with Seattle to 150 Zach Veen Remember those blue colored ones are not numbered, but that's why I'm breezing by those but they will shit, of course There's Kevin Alcantara To 150 You know, wasn't this guy Isn't this guy supposed to be a big name? Maybe we'll see him and a Jackson holiday chrome card I was all all contours on the 40 man. So there you go. I feel like that's a name that I remember For a number of years. Maybe he's getting close And there's Drake Baldwin 56 out of 75 started from the bottom. Now we're here The ATL Justin with the Bravo's Third rounder wasn't Alcantara somewhere else before no, maybe I'm thinking of someone else No, just Yankees and cups. Who was the guy Joe Pizzle who was or this opened everybody, I guess who was a braves International prospect like maybe somewhere in South America or something possibly Cuba and Then Atlanta got involved in that little International signing bonus scandal which I got one of the one of the one of the Executives one of the front office guys suspended from baseball for life or something like that and Then they had to release all of those guys and then he went to the Angels. I want to say I don't know if he's still there. Ah Yeah, Kevin Maitan Thanks socks life. Nice. Good poll And he was like an upper deck sets and stuff like that with the angels. Yeah What's he doing? What's he up to? I haven't heard anything. I feel like he was supposed to be a guy 34 out of 50 Michael Norr Or Daisuke and the Astros Just being buried in that bad angels organization. Oh, he was in the folly last year. Okay. All right. All right still grinding different Kevin Landon Sims for the snakes Kevin Kevin M Different Kevin M. This is Kevin Miyakawa bought the diamond bags And then up with last Bob Mojo Like Kevin M is happening here. You got Simon Huang to 499 Metz paper for Stephen Carney 338 out of 499 speaking of the White Sox Manager now the White Sox, what's what's their managerial situation? Did I miss that news over the winter? I feel like a lot of things happen. Oh Pedro Griffel From KC got it White Sox white Sox all For the last few years, and I'm maybe I'm sure Sox life will probably feel the same way on paper. This team looks Always looks like, you know on paper. It always looks like man, this seems gonna be great They're gonna win 95 plus games, you know Al Central's not that scary. Yeah injuries were bad last year and then But yeah, then like injuries happen and this and that happens and then That defense defense underrated Really underrated My crochet was lost before the year. Yeah, Garrett crochet being lost But you got Lucas G Alito Lance Lynn Dylan C's co-peck guys like Clevenger in there Poor Liam Hendricks good doing Now he's battling cancer. Yeah And the guys lost Garrett crochet before before the year And then you got you got guys like Grandal Like Andrew Vaughan you know Ankata Tim Anderson Daughters could have used a fire you got like Tim Anderson last year's playoffs, you know Eloy Louise Robert so on and so forth other youngsters coming up the ranks too But yeah, Eloy always gets her that's true Breaking news building a building a baseball team Winning the World Series hard to 499. We've got Tristan Veerling Yankees paper for Devin, right? Yeah, how are how are those uh How are those braves rookie's gonna do do next year? There's sedan rafela to 25. Nice and we were just talking about them a little bit earlier like what What sort of bad rookies or down rookies from last year will improve this year And I guess the the extension of that question now is like and one of the examples is like Spencer Torkelson, right? Like we want to see Torkelson Be good for the hobby if he does if he does well next year, right? He's got a long leash because of his draft position and stuff but You know and his and his measurables, but But yeah, I guess the extension of that question is Is what rookies will avoid the sophomore slump to keep things going You know, yeah, so how does what like them the hair Michael Harris is the grissoms the Spencer striders How are they going to look? You know next year because if they keep it going, I mean that You know that brave team is going to be Is going to be pretty scary They got a lot of the a lot of their players locked up in really team friendly contracts So they've got their players to buy in and do all that You know, they got awesome Riley to sign early. They got Kunya albies to sign early for multiple years too Michael Hernandez for Bart and the O's Hmm. That's a good rebound candidate Jonathan India. I like that Yeah, Christian Pache was supposed to be great I I'm pretty sure I had uh drafted him on for multiple years in a row on my fantasy team hoping he'd end up being like a Like a 2020 guy at least, you know, you know, just a nice little bench guy Ben Joyce For the angels that's going to be for Tim Lee I'm very curious to see how How the the changes the rule changes in baseball What that's going to produce I'm for different arguments You know, like Like oh the the shift is gone. So now Joey Gallo is going to be It's just going to start raking and then you're just like well Joey Gallo still swings and misses a lot. I'm not sure if the shift is going to help him one way or the other I don't know if it's like Babbit was like Any better or worse because of because of the shift There's a Connor pre-lit to 99 for the twins Oh, there you go. Jack Leiter. Yeah, does he get an RC logo this year? Joe Pizzle thinks he does But You know, I think that's one big change the shift And I'm sure Fan graphs or any of the fantasy baseball sites will definitely have some breakdowns on who's going to benefit the most From the shift from last year using all that info There's louise on helicunia to 199 But yeah, and the other change I was going to mention. Yeah Um base sizes base base sizes are slightly bigger And we've talked about how second base has literally been moved in a little bit as well That angle changes a little bit, but base sizes are bigger. Does that You know, how many stolen base attempts have you seen that are just Another benjoys Tim, you're starting a benjoys PC whether you intended to or not You know, so how does that change stolen bases? Oliver what's going on happy new year good to be back Yeah shift might help muncie Oliver You know now Maybe you Maybe that helps some the position players as well Maybe even more close plays at first to And remember there's only a limited amount of time Um That you can throw over to a base So there's that too I think in spring training There's gonna be a lot more practice on on catchers you know Practicing uh Throwing the second Well, I don't think max a's max muncie is going to be called up this year. So Definitely Dodger's max muncie, but if A's max muncie gets called up someday at the end that's going to be pretty complicated Took has an idea that you think would spark tremendous interest in baseball and make the end of games awesome would also speed up games Hmm What is your what is your idea? Instead of exerting a homerun derby shootout Wow Is that that's that's what's going to get the key demographics there that seems a little too savannah banana And I think there's been a little oversaturation A little oversaturation of the homerun Which is why I think baseball has made these rules to try to put more Because they've done the studies and stuff. I think more people want Like what's more exciting a homerun Or a triple You know, so I mean they I mean it might just be oversaturated to see a homerun derby at the end It'll just be like watching batting practice. I guess is what would amount to To being But I don't like that runner-on second though I do agree with you on that I don't know if it changes I don't know if that you really even changes anything I feel like the same amount of extra innings. I don't know. I'm sure there's studies on it I should probably look this up, but I wonder if there has been any actual Actual changes, you know In like how many times or how how much faster an extra inning game actually becomes Is gabriel rinconz to 150 Baseball to me is kind of like soccer in the way that You know, you got to keep the game as As sort of natural and as simplified as as possible. So how like having like I don't know I don't know the gimmicky idea really works for a sport like baseball At least for me It's still a little more traditionalist, but who chooses who's on second and next. I that I actually don't know I thought it was just the the Do you get to choose a runner or is it like the person who was hitting previously that made the last out or something or Or is that not the case? Or I guess would that be a pinch runner situation if you put someone else in there There's tanner scoble 144 out of 150 That's for the twins raymond Devin says last out of the inning. Okay I think that's what it is and then and then oftentimes you'll see them just do a pinch runner or something like that Extra innings decided by essay questions as mike tower I'm not sure if that's going to go over well Did you know That in terms of traditional, uh, education Baseball players Are the least classically, uh Classically educated of the major sports A lot more kids these days are just going straight from high school to, uh To them to the pros getting drafted and getting it part of the part of that even the mba You know Or exactly because they've been drafted out of high school even even the mba You know for for whatever you think they're doing for their one year of college You know those kids still have to go to class they still have to go do that bare minimum You know nfl You know just you're seeing kids in college for at least three years, right? Most are doing four So i'm thinking That the ml that the uh players association Are gonna be like, yeah, no thanks on the uh Well thanks on the essay stuff Yeah socks life is right soccer too A lot of soccer players especially the elite ones who are identified You know pretty early You know are are yeah are taken as they I mean they go to their the soccer clubs academies But I mean who knows what the uh What the education sandages are for barcelona's youth academy, right? There's gabin cross To 150 It's for can city that's going to be for tim Although I wonder actually now i'm curious what is the education level In a youth academy if you're like I don't know in the high school if you're like under 16s at barcelona's youth academy And you're getting uh you're getting some education there What do you think it's just You know the usual school bs or do you think they're actually getting more relevant Like education like are they as a high school? Are you getting more taking more like business classes? Are you taking more like is it tailored more to what your career may be in the future? You know I mean past like basic sciences, uh you think it's just gd types that all right In my head. I was just like man, it'd be cool if they're like, hey Here's how there's a here's a basic contract law class. Ain't nothing too crazy, but like You know just something on like simplify to a high school level or something like that Maybe not maybe I'm just too optimistic there Ah, okay. Okay. So like the img academies in florida. They teach like life skills. Yeah, like that should be I always had this thing where I was like there should be like a school who has a pro athlete You know should be able to declare like a major that will help them like a specifically That would specifically help them, you know, it would be a special course tailored to them So instead of taking like I don't know Yeah a math class just to fill a requisite or something like that They had like a like a pro athlete degree down on something like that Some hockey or then they go to four on four three and three So extra in see, I don't know if that works I I think trying to baseball such a unique sport trying to apply like Like what they do in like hockey or soccer to To baseball just I mean just seems just doesn't work There's Elijah green. Nice 499 out of 499 flipped around refractor autograph For jai joe about the nationals straight up Nice your fifth overall pick Son of former pro football tied in eric green Yeah, the last one to the last one he ever signed I don't know if that's true, but we'll say we'll just say it's the last one he ever signed We got another number back here. There's Troy melton to 199 Did Elijah green? Yeah, I saw it florida. Did he go to img? He planned to attend The you And yeah, I was born in windermere florida Yeah, and baseball jc's have a lot of great players. Yeah former Former co-worker here My colleague thomas baiton Did the jc route here in southern california? and went to a local jc here and then worked his way through there and Uh ended up transferring to cal state northridge, which is a pretty decent baseball school down here He's pretty good.

He went to the same jc That uh garrick cooper went to marlin's guy garrick cooper Uh was at a juco around here And then uh transferred to auburn Oh nice. He went to cal state bolton has some classes with justin turner Yeah, I hope I hope after justin turner retires. He comes back to the dodgers and does something coaching and coaching with him Yeah, oliver that's what he he he was uh, I don't know if you ran into him over the winter, but He did a few uh, he put in a few shifts here and there a little little winter break money but yeah, he was saying that that uh Is he 90 at 97? I thought he was saying he he's consistently consistently, uh In mid 90s like 94 95 If he's touching 97, that's pretty good and then like decent pitch mix too Got got some good off speed stuff He was telling me some some stats and some scrimmage games. I think uh, I don't know for me young pitchers, right? Reduce those walks Wow using that d1 rate room I love it. Wow He came justin turning came to class after the college world series the year We won and he got hit in the face.
