 Anthony it's official. Now what was it like to put pen to paper and officially become a member of the New York Yankees? It was definitely surreal. I mean I've dreamed about being in New York Yankees since I was little and just for it all to come to fruition today. I still don't think it's it's hit me, but it's pretty awesome and to be there with my family and my high school baseball coach is really it was really awesome. So you've been here for a little while today. What have you been doing around the ballpark? I've been meeting everyone. I pretty much got to see the clubhouse, the field and meet a couple of the guys and they couldn't have been more kind to me and just wish me luck and tell me to get back up so I could help contribute one day. The draft process is generally a very long one. They've been watching you for a while. When did you first get an indication that they were considering taking you with their first pick? I guess there's kind of stuff the whole spring but my focus this spring was just play with my my last year of high school my senior year and focus on winning a state championship and that's kind of where my mindset was. I knew stuff was going on on the outside but I kind of tried to block all that out and stay focused and try and win as many games as possible. You're just a high school senior. How do you go about blocking out the outside noise? Well luckily Jack Leiter was on my high school team and we were kind of going through the same stuff so having him there and having him there to bounce things off of since we were pretty much going through the same thing was really beneficial to me. What did you do on draft day? I had the whole team over my house and a couple of my old coaches and my family and it was a really really good time and I wouldn't have wanted it to happen any other way just the feeling to have everyone there when I heard my name called was something I'll never forget. What was your reaction from all your friends and family around you? I think I got dog piled. They all just started jumping on me and screaming and it was a really nice moment to hug everyone and then right after all that happened we jumped straight in the pool all our clothes on every single person there it was really cool. Any part of you that wishes Jack Leiter was coming along for this journey with you? Yeah it is pretty bittersweet. We've been together the last four years and we're planning on going to Vanderbilt together and continuing what we've done together so far and he's going to do great things with whatever he chooses to do and it's going to be two short years and he's going to be here and his name called a lot earlier so it is bittersweet but couldn't be more happy for everything he's accomplished. Why was going pro the right decision for you? I think it's just the opportunity to play with the Yankees and it's always been my dream since I was little to one day playing the Bronx and where the pinstripes and with the opportunity that I was presented it really was something I couldn't say no to. Okay for people that have never seen you play give me a quick scouting report on yourself. I'd say I'm just a player that would do anything I possibly can to help the team win and try and be one of those players to contribute any way I possibly can. What are you most looking forward to? Just playing and being part of the life and meeting people and just getting to work and hopefully one day getting back here. Anthony thanks for the time.
