 We were going through your baseball reverence in Wikipedia and some that we were we're kind of surprised by are interested in that you were drafted four different times. You turned down three. So how did that go? Who was your like, you know, who were you getting advice or was it you or who was saying like, and wait it out, you'll get drafted. Because, you know, for for the people listening, it was 22nd round, no, 36 round, no, 25th round, no, and you get the the fifth round the fourth time. So I mean, clearly, you're getting some good advice. It worked out. How did that whole how did that whole ordeal break down? So what I think what a lot of people don't know is so that first year my senior high school and I got drafted by the pirates on 22nd round, I didn't play my senior. I got hurt. I didn't play really. So I was so I I was I had strained my UCL in high school. And so the Rangers doctor at the time, he was like, Hey, you can you can't do anything yet. But towards the back half of the season, I was playing first base in outfield. But he's like, you can hit he's like, you can't get on the mound yet. So I need I need pitch. I did. I did one workout for the pirates. One workout. And then they draft me out for that because they call me there one of the evening. So then I go to San San Jacinto Junior College in Houston. And I go down there and pitch four innings and get hurt again. And then, you know, I was asleep on my couch in my parents room and got a call from the red and 36 round. And then I just and they just going through all that. Also, I just felt like, you know, I was ready for it but wasn't like mature enough yet. And I think just like I didn't I haven't even shown people what I could do to, you know, get paid just a little bit. So then, you know, go to I had surgery out of stress fractures, they put a screw in my elbow. So then I missed the rest of my freshman year. And then they had some medical red shirt issues as well. So then I got to clear the sophomore didn't know it. So then I get drafted by twins in the 25th round and, you know, didn't pitch I pitched like eight innings that year and then go to Oklahoma Baptist and, you know, get drafted in the fifth round. But one thing my advisor agent at the time was like, you need to go somewhere, somewhere that's different new set of eyes on you and just new scout. So you can build your stock. But he's like, these scouts have seen you since you were in high school. He's like, so you need some new eyes. So that's that's when I went to Oklahoma Baptist, you know, NAI school at the time, you know, and, you know, the velocity was creeping up as well. And then, you know, the can't be a conference championship game. I got up to 99. And that was, you know, that was, you know, and my mom was happy too, because she was asking me after the game, she's like, how do you feel that I said, I'm upset that we didn't, you know, we didn't win. But I said everything I went through and just was patient to the process and just like just basically invest in it and believe it in myself. You know, it's going to play off on this shirt enough to get taken into the fifth round by the national soft like, you know, the weight was worth it. Yeah, there you go. Worked out perfectly. And then and then you also got drafted four times, traded for twice. The pirates wasn't the same scout and crew that wanted you back out of high school that then traded for you. That's kind of cool. If they were like, we still want you. They did. They were still talking when I went got traded over there. I remember my first bullpen was in Winston Salem. And I'm throwing a bullpen in front of a bunch of their, you know, GMs and everybody and they're like, man, why don't you want to find what is in high school? You know, and I told them straight up, I was like, you guys weren't gonna pay me. Yeah, no kidding. So I was like, I was like, y'all weren't gonna pay me. So I was like, why would I sit there and try to take lessons when I was battling myself to go to school? But it was, it was a pretty cool thing to come full circle with that organization. Because, you know, talking to a bunch of those guys over there, like me, you know, we've been watching some high school, you know, progressing and stuff. So it was, it was pretty cool. I mean, if I'm an organization, and we're doing a regular draft, we're doing five rounds this year, which is ridiculous. Regular drafts 40 rounds. The first 10 rounds, I'm going to go best player available just, you know, whatever. After that, my the rest of my picks are going to be six, five and above pitchers. Yeah, that's it, dude. Like, I don't know why they don't more teams don't do that. Like, obviously, they saw something you like, you were projectable. That's what they're going to call you. And so finally, how many six, five pitchers do you think are just in high school? I don't know. I'm guessing there's all get drafted. I was there for all of them. And like, there's no like, there's six, five pitchers. But how many ever left you those? Exactly. That's, it's even more it's my point. It's like, you yeah, like that's the whole this 25, 24, 23 round get out of here with that. Like, you have you have something you can't teach, bro. Like, you can't teach six, five. Can't yes, you kind of teach lefty. But the Velo's there. I don't know, man. Like, seems like a weird thing that that was the case for you. And then all of a sudden national snatched you up in the fifth round. What? Yeah. But like, get free for betting on yourself, man. And Trevor, you know, as well, like going through the whole draft process, like those teams will those teams will like, when you're honest with them, you asking them, like, I'm asking teams like, Hey, where do you see me? Oh, we got you 15 to 20th, you know, stuff like that. I'm just like, Oh, yeah, like, yeah, whatever, you know what I mean? So you got to the point to where I got tired of it. And I just was like, look, I'm gonna continue investing myself. And they got to the point to where I've hit 70, 80 innings that did well, and it shows the lost thing. I'm like, it's out there. I'm like, now just, you know, now try to take me at a spot that I like.
