I mean, it was an absolute blast
, you know, uh being able to
kind of chase his, I guess his,
his legacy in a sense.
Um You know, ever since I was
younger, we always talked about
how I'm gonna hit 21 I'm gonna
hit 21 and um you know, being
tied with him is almost better
than breaking, alphabetically.
I am higher.
But, but, but we're, we're tied
and I'm like, he has been the
number one person in my career
who has helped push me to be a
better baseball player.
And I mean, my dad is one of the
biggest reasons why I'm here and
I had to catch it too and how to
call it.
And I mean, catching is a very
cerebral position.
So learning how to be an
intelligent pitch caller has
been one major thing for me.
Uh learning guys being able to
be personable with guys being
able to handle the bullpen.
And as far as you're strictly
from the mechanics of, of
catching like catching is a very
mechanical position as well with
receiving and throwing and
blocking.
And I feel like the Red Sox have
have been monumental.
In my both offensive and
defensive game as far as making
me a better catcher.
So.
Absolutely.
Yes, sir.
I feel like a lot better.
