 Just as first day in the big leagues, what was it like walking into the ballpark today? It was crazy. You know, I've been here before a few times, you know, as a fan. And it's just crazy, you know, putting on the uniform and getting to go out on the field for the first time and, you know, to actually be a part of it, it's crazy. What's going through your mind as you're putting on the uniform? Um, for one, that it doesn't have, you know, the Real Riders logo on the front. So that, you know, that throws me off a lot. But, you know, the fact that it has the New York Yankees logo on the front, you know, it's just a dream come true. And, you know, I'm ready to get started. Your name has been mentioned an awful lot, but did you expect that you'd be called up at some point in time this season? Honestly, I had no clue. You know, when they threw me in the bullpen, I kind of, you know, suspected that, you know, I might be able to go up, come up in the bullpen, but never really had a clue. And, you know, I didn't really want to think about it. I just wanted to go out there and do my best and do whatever my team needed me to do. And, you know, when you move to the bullpen, how do you like coming out of the pen? What's been the most challenging for you? I like it. It was a little different at first, just because my whole life I've been a starter. Never came out of the bullpen. I think the hardest thing was just getting the routine down, you know, not getting too excited, and, you know, just going out there and being myself and, you know, getting the guys out. Is the first time you run in from the bullpen nerve-wracking, having not done it before when you did it with the Real Riders? Yeah, and I can only imagine it being here, too. So, you know, the adrenaline definitely pumps. When you hear that phone ring and you don't know if your name's going to be called, you know, your heart starts racing. But, you know, I'm looking forward to it. I'm definitely going to be excited. How would you evaluate your year as a whole in the Miners? I feel like I did what I needed to do. You know, I had some personal goals this year, which I wanted to accomplish. And obviously the team goal this year was to, you know, win the Governor's Cup. Felt a little short this year, but, you know, I feel like I had a pretty successful year. And, you know, like I said, I'm just glad to be sitting here talking to you right now. You mentioned personal goals. What were those personal goals? For one, you know, just pitching deep into games, staying healthy the full season. You know, I got hurt last year. Put me on the show for about two months. So that was rough on me being my first time on the deal. And, you know, this year I just wanted to, you know, maintain, stay healthy and, you know, pitch deep in games and do whatever I could to help my team. Who called you to tell you that you were heading to New York? Bobby Mitchell, my manager. So he called me in after we lost. He gave a speech, you know, told us to keep our heads up and that we had a good year. And then after that, called me in and he said, you're going to the show. Who was the first person you called thereafter? I think it was my dad, either my dad or my mom. One of the two, I'm not going to say who, because one of them might get mad at me watching this, but, you know, definitely call my parents and then follow it up by my brother. So, you know, they were all excited. What, was there any, when they didn't know why you were calling when you first called? Dad, no clue. My dad thought I was lying to him. He thought I was just messing with himself. But, you know, after that, they, you know, they couldn't believe it. My mom, she, you know, started crying. I guess she was crying all day as my dad told me. But they were very excited. They'll be here throughout the week. So, you know, I'm looking forward to seeing them. Do you like the idea of potentially making your major league debut in the pen against the Red Sox? Yeah, it's crazy. You know, it was tough for me to sleep last night just because I'm thinking of imagining myself out there from all these fans against, you know, the Red Sox. You know, everyone knows what these games come down to. So, you know, I'll be ready to go out there and show these guys what I can do and help the team in the way I can.
