Elizabeth. Well not just meet tonight, We've got Cody Baker with us of
Georgetown University Baseball. So go hoyas. We've got a special guest. And
you know, Cody, I get to just mom up baseball with you for
a while. Yes, thank you, my favorite thing to do. Yeah,
exactly. So yah, I thought, I thought, what's fun to
have you. And we're going to have Derek Smith on with you, but
it sounds like he's not feeling the best. So we wish him uh some
good healing energy and hope he feels better, and we'll have Derek on another
time. So for now, we're just going to go through all these questions
that I have with you. So how's that sound, Cody? Good?
It sounds like an awesome time. Let's do it, Okay? All right?
So I am just gonna you're you are? You are doing so well
at Georgetown. It is so cool You're from Maine and I want to go
there. First, and talk about your career in Maine, if you would
please, because it's really special to have kids from Maine there at Georgetown University,
and there've been a few and it's it's amazing. I think you started
this trend, So tell us all about high school and Maine first, if
you would. Well, first off, I want to thank you for having
me on if it's an honor, And then I also wanted to wish my
mom a happy birthday. Happens to be a birthday. Oh, happy birthday,
Mom. But so just I mean, Maine is obviously kind of like
like niche and kind of like a hole in the wall, like people wouldn't
think that like good baseball players or like some good like students really come from
the state. But I mean, obviously me and then a lot of other
people, including obviously two of your sons who have kind of made the step
onto the world stage down here in d C. Where it's actually above seventy
degrees out today, which is really nice. Was like, hey, mom,
it's seventy five. I'm like, that's exactly what I told her.
But growing up for me, for me, was was awesome. I love
spending time outdoors, and I remember like growing up, me and my dad
would head to the field or even just head outside in our yard and throw
the baseball around and just kind of enjoy the outdoors. And that's kind of
led me to fall in love with baseball and then in love with actually some
warmer weather because we need kind of that warmer weather to play. But yeah,
I mean that that's kind of how I fell in love with the game
and why kind of growing up in Maine was really really good for me,
because I mean, the outdoors are super, super nice, and you can
really throw snowballs at like ninety miles an hour two, can't you? Oh
yeah, Oh yeah, Cam. I used to get so frustrated to be
off the back deck just hurling snowballs into the wood, just like meltl you
had. You gotta make the best of the cold, you do. Yeah,
you had a standout career. Here it says here you're about six foot
two. Although to me, are you are you still? Are you six
foot three four or you six two? Or how's that going? I wish?
I think I think it depends on my hair day. It depends my
hair is matted down. But I'd like to say that I'm six too.
Okay, Well, I like to say I'm five to three on a big
hair day, so I'm with you there. Yeah, so I know,
I stand up next to you, I'm like, wow, you're way taller
than I am. You here in Maine, you led the Thornton Academy to
a Class A state tournament. You that was crazy. Great congratulations on that
back then and back and what year was that? Those two years old?
Two twenty twenty two, all right, and yeah, you were the Gatorade
Player of the Year from here. All all sorts of great comments about you
online there. I was just kind of reading, but I know perfect game
or inked you as you were ranked, and you ended up with a six
and zero record that year, I think, with a zero point four eight
e RA, a seventy four strikeouts and forty four and then pitch so we
can see why you were the Gatorade Player of the Year and and all that
good stuff. So congratulations on that, and yeah, thank you. Yeah,
and you I'm gonna keep going on Maine for a little bit here because
you came back to us. You didn't have to, and you did.
I saw you here last summer in Maine. Yeah, for Stanford Manors.
Yeah, tell me about that. I mean, it couldn't have been a
better situation to play kind of some high level baseball close close to home.
Like my parents were able to make a trip down to watch me play,
which is one of my favorite things to do. And then I was actually
able to stay with my girlfriend pretty much the entire summer, which was super
awesome and super fun. Yeah, yeah, excellent. So yep, Sanford
Manors, they're they're down there in Sandford and they have a lot of they
have a lot of players from all over the all over the country, right,
it's not just main Oh yeah, somebody that you played with that you
were like, Wow, that's cool. I get to play with you and
you're here. I mean yeah, I mean there was some There were some
guys obviously from like some big name baseball schools, which was pretty cool.
And then we also had some kind of West Coast guys which was kind of
cool to hear their perspective on baseball and yeah, I'm super awesome. Yeah.
So you mentioned going from Maine to Georgetown. I know you're in your
second year there, but tell so people, can you know, there's lots
of people listening and there's lots of people who are like, I want to
play in college, you know all those things. What's it like to go
from high school to college and play baseball because it's like having two full time
jobs or three. I would say absolutely. I don't think there's any way
to sugarcoat it, but I will say that like me personally, and I'm
completely like up for the challenge and willing to kind of do whatever it takes,
whether it's like spending some extra time practicing or even staying up late to
do some studying. But the transition is definitely tough. There's a lot more
expected out of you from from high school to college, I mean, and
this is like there's even more expected out of you, kind of going from
a main school where you kind of can't play all year round to a Division
one school where you're pretty much doing baseball things every single day. So it's
definitely a big jump. But it was also the time in my life where
I can and safely say that I did the most learning I've ever done.
So it's kind of you you get what you put in, and I've enjoyed
the entire thing. Yeah, what would you say is different this year for
you? Like what have you what's what have you learned from going from being
a Like I'm gonna say freshman is sophomore because I'm old, but sometimes people
say first year to second year whatever it is. So what have you what
have you learned from last year? I would say this year, I have
a little bit better of like a routine. And then I'm also aware of
kind of the resources that Georgetown has for like baseball players, Like I've been
able to see our trainer a little bit more to kind of get some extra
work. I know, the the hours at the gym, so I'll go
there extra time. So just things like that that I know maybe last year
I didn't know about. Now that I'm kind of in a little bit better
routine, I'm able to take advantage of those things. Yeah, all right,
let's talk about me just a little bit more here now there, I'm
going to guess three of you from Maine on the team, including the coach,
So talk about Maine for a minute in terms of who's there. And
you know, Coach T couldn't be a more cool human being. I mean
he's just the best. So you know, shut up Coach T and and
tell me about Derek too. While you're at it. Well, obviously they're
they're they're very relatable just because they're they're from the same state. We kind
of grew up doing the same things. Like, I know, I've talked
with Coach t specifically about some of like the the outdoor stuff that everybody in
Maine kind of likes to do. Derek I've got to talk to and got
to know a lot better too. He kind of he went to a Kenny
Bunk, which is kind of right down the road from TA so I was
actually able to play against him. It was my freshman year, his senior
gamer, and I kind of knew him as an acquaintance. But it's been
good to get to know him and we The funny part is all three of
us like know all of the same people. Like we'll mention somebody and Coach
he will know him, Derek will know him. Like. So that's one
really cool thing about being from Maine is kind of everybody knows everybody and we're
able to talk about things like that. Yeah, Yeah, don't you think
it's it's pretty neat that coach he's able to bring talent from Maine to Georgetown.
I just I think that's really special. He keeps an eye on on
people. And you know, he always says dream big and I and he
means it. Yep. No, he does a very good job with that.
Yeah. Absolutely, all right, So let's talk about this year.
You so, Georgetown is picked to finish fourth in the Big East, and
I think you just got a preseason accolade as well? Am I right?
I think you just got? Yeah? Now do you do you what do
you think about that? Do you think? What do you think when you're
pinning picked fourth? You go, that's not right. We should be picked
first because we're gonna be first. Yep, exactly. I mean you got
the right thinking there. I would say all all preseason awards are kind of
crap and kind of need to be earned. So just like any any preseason
like individual award or preseason team award like that, all that stuff needs to
be earned throughout the season. I feel like our team has a is ready
to earn those things. Yeah. Now, in social media for everybody following,
there's there's Hoya sacs and then there's also like a hashtag team and a
number. Last year was team one fifty three. This year is team one
fifty four. Can you explain that to our listeners, so they understand what
that means. It's not an insight like, it's meaningful. Correct. So
Team one fifty three was just the one hundred and fifty third team in program
history, and then this year we're gonna kind of start out with the one
hundred and fifty fourth team program history and just kind of shows how long Georgetown
Baseball's been around for a really long time, right, Yeah, yeah,
and team let's talk about Team one fifty three because you know, Team one
fifty four gets to improve on Team one fifty three, and that is that's
a tall order because now do you have all the accolades there with all the
things that Team one fifty three did or should I read them for you and
you can just chime in, which would you like? Yeah, I mean
I don't. I don't have them like all the top of my head,
but I definitely can mention a few. Like the biggest one for me is
kind of breaking that like not not having won a game in the in the
Big East Championship, which is kind of what our what our team goal is
and which is a very big step in the right direction. So that that
was kind of the biggest one that stood out for me, and then obviously
mister Blost kind of figured it out there on the mound and having a really
really good season and then getting his name called on draft day. Yeah,
nine overall, the Astro select Jake Bloss. I mean, how cool is
that? And he's a great human too, He's just a He's funny and
nice. And I talked to him in DMS and Instagram every once in a
while, just like, how's it going. You have a baseball card?
I want one? Sign it, send it. He's a school So thirty
plus wins, the first ever Big East Tournament win, like you just said,
back to back Big East Playoff appearances, eighty nine home runs, nine
hundred and twenty seven total bases, and on and on and on. Forty
five hundred people watching you guys play in Prasco Park in where was that,
Mason, Ohio? That is a cool Let's talk about Prasco Park for just
a second. That is a great place, isn't it. It's a very
nice place, and that's that's where we want to be. Yeah, we
drove, We drove from Mayno, Ohio. Just stay there and it was
so much fun. I remember on one of the games. I had Bloss
and Cam in the back of our car. It was so funny because it
was a pretty small car. Yeah, I'll fo Yeah, Oh it was
very fun And uh yeah, that's a beautiful, beautiful stadium. They do
a great job taking care of the Big East Tournament, don't they. It's
just gorgeous. Do a very good job. Yeah, And I mean they
even had like free food. I don't know if the players got to do
that, but everybody in the stands, you know, it's like free food
everywhere and free merchandise and free everything that It was a really really neat place.
So I want to just give them some some props there for just taking
care of everybody. So now you, let's talk about you. You.
Last year, you were a two way player who made fourteen appearances on the
mound with four starts. That's a big deal for a freshman. That is
really cool. You had a two point five to seven ear and forty two
innings of work. I'm just gonna keep reading. Forty seven strikeouts and here's
a big one. The batting average against you was point two of six,
basically two of six you played. You played in thirty nine games and started
twenty nine of them. On and on and on. There's and then there's
hitting stats as well. You earned your first collegiate hit against Presbyterian. I
think I have that on video. Actually I think I sent it to your
mom. I can't remember. Okay, gosh, that's it's awesome. So
you're not only there, you're excelling. You made a change this year to
be I think, to be a picture only. Is that correct or incorrect?
Correct? Ye? How's that? And why? So the big reason
why is just I kind of found some more success on the mound last year.
And then the kind of other big reason is I just kind of want
to spend my all my time at practice kind of perfecting and learning actually a
ton on the mound and kind of it was a decision kind of between me
and some of the coaches, and I actually got the opportunity to play down
in the Cape Cod League this summer, and it was just kind of as
a pitcher, So I wanted to kind of spend my time learning how to
pitch and kind of excelling in that because it's never something that I've gotten before.
Let's talk about that Cape Cod League. That is a that's the that's
like almost being in the MLB already. I mean, that's that's where everybody
wants to be able to pitch or play in the Cape Cod League. How
was that? Did you spend part of your summer there? All of your
summer there? I think you bumped from the mainers to their correct I was
going to get the opportunity to but didn't quite make it down there. I
was lucky enough to go catch one of my teammates Owen and Everett playing the
playoff game down there, which was super fun. Okay, yep, so
I don't have that quite right, but yeah, yeah, that's I mean,
that's it's just amazing. Tell us about your pitching coach he is he's
also one of my favorite human beings on the planet. Well, Coach Capen
is just all around amazing. Like I'm pretty sure it gets kind of annoyed
at me for all the questions that I ask him. I'll even like I'll
text him and I'll be like, hey, like are you in your office
And he's trying to kind of work some things out or create a plan for
the week or whatever, and I'm just barging into his office kind of asking
him questions, trying to talk pitching, but I mean I would. I
can definitely say that he's kind of taught me everything in that pretty much everything
I know about pitching up to this point, and I've just learned to come
from him, and it's just a big reason I am. Now who are
the other coaches there this year? I know we one of the coaches left
to go to the West Coast and he was awesome too, So it's just
kind of you can't use the word awesome enough when you it's like Georgetown University
baseball boy is awesome. That's my word. So who are the other coaches
this year? So obviously we have coach t which is our head coach.
We have Coach Jathan, who I believe is the like associate head coach and
my pitching coach. We have coach Brock Keener, who's the hitting coach and
the catching coach. We have coach Moe, who I believe is director of
player development, and then we have an assistant in Travant Johnson. M all
right, and yeah, everybody combines there to to to help out it.
It's the field itself is not on campus. Explain that because a lot of
times the field's right there. You know, you just walk out and it's
you know, it's right there. In Georgetown's case, the field is not
there. Talk about last year's field and this year's field and where you guys
are playing and all that, because last year we had vans and it was
sort of do we still have vans? Oh, we still have vans.
We still have vans. Tell us, I'll be quiet, you talk.
So last year we played at Washington National's Youth Academy, looking down in like
Southeast DC. It was probably it's crazy. It's crazy to say this actually
because in Maine, like it wouldn't take this long to go that far,
but it's like, I think it's like eight miles, but it ends up
taking like thirty minutes, which is crazy to think about. But so we
would drive down there pretty much every day for practice and then we'd play there.
But this year we've actually been able to upgrade to Capital One Park over
in Tyson's Corner, Virginia, I believe, And it's the same idea.
It's probably a twenty five thirty minute drive and we all kind of pop in
the vans, we chat, and then we get to the field and we
do our practicing and we have our game and then we drive back. Yeah,
and that is a gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous field. We went there
for alumni day a few months ago, and tell us about those facilities,
because that's special. And like when you go into the elevators of one of
the hotels, there's pictures of Georgetown on baseball, and I mean they're proud,
very proud to have I mean I would I'd say it's an honor to
be able to play play at a place like that and have the opportunity to
play there. I mean, it's, like you said, very very nice.
Like I believe one of the conference tournaments is being D one conference tournaments
being held there. So it's just it's a really kind of prestigious ballpark.
It's actually really new, which is also really cool and kind of modern,
which is super nice. And we're just very fortunate to be able to play
there. Yeah. Yeah, No, it's it's gorgeous over there. Who
drives the vans? You're talking to them there. It's it's pretty much our
our sophomore class. Well, we'll drive the vans and occasionally some some juniors
will take turns, and we have four vans and every morning, I wake
up and I signed four van drivers. I try to make it even and
yeah, it's pretty much out rules. Is anybody like, yeah, you
don't want me driving other than cant not doing it? Yeah, no,
I'm kind of with them. But yeah, it's funny. All right,
Let's let's talk about the upcoming season. Let's talk about teammates you know,
and and and go there the upcoming season. What can we expect? What's
your what's your schedule? Like? It sounds like you guys are in Arizona.
Yeah, I mean that's a super highlight of our season. We kind
of get to kick it off. We get to go kind of towards the
West Coast, which is somewhere. I mean, I've never been to Arizona,
and I know some of the guys and the team haven't been there either,
And we're gonna head down there, play Friday, Saturday, Sunday against
three really really good teams, which is exactly who we want to match up
against. And then after that we're pretty much we got challenges every weekend.
So that's the plan, and we're gonna do our best to win the Big
East, which is our goal. Yeah, it sounds like this year you
guys play Duke, and I mean we got really we got Duke, we
got Way for us, we got Ohio State. So we're definitely playing some
some big, big name schools. But I mean that's what we want to
compete against. Yeah. That that that just levels everything up, right,
It just just such as they just plays up. Will you guys have any
like, what's what's a big difference between one side four and team one five
four and one side three in terms of people and things like that? Tell
some tell some of the highlights of team one five three versus one five four.
You know, all just talk about your teammates. Well, I'd say
the biggest thing is that Team one fifty three just kind of laid laid kind
of an expectation and uh a work ethic for future teams to build off of.
So, I mean, obviously we worked really really hard to accomplish the
things we did last year. And I mean, as the teams keep going
up, like one fifty four, one fifty five, fifty six, like
we're going to be expected to do more and more, and we've just kind
of we've built a good foundation coach to help with that. Tremendous tremendously And
yeah, so that that's kind of the thing. We we we have a
a standard, as coach t he likes to call it, and the standard
is the standard, and the as years go on, the standard is just
going to keep getting higher. Yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
What can we expect from what different starters and things like that, like talk,
let's talk. Do you mind talking about specific teammates or is that unfair?
I don't know the rules, you know, the like talk about Owen
or just some of the some of the players. So it's just always fun
to talk about. You know, everybody's so awesome that I can't even pick
but you know, yeah, yeah, I mean totally we have We have
one through forty guys who are have worked their ass off to be able to
play. I mean Owen, I I give him crap all the time about
kind of getting in the gym and we need to work more, we need
to do this, we need to do that, and we kind of love
vickering back and forth at each other. But he's gonna be super awesome and
I'm super lucky to be able to pitch to him. Everett came off a
very good summer. He he's looking to be kind of one of our one
of our best pitchers, and I'm excited for him. I mean, we
have we have grad transfers who are looking really good in Josh Rawling and Joe
holler Back and Marco was on the team last year. He's looking really good.
Jake Hyde is a blast to be around. He's a very very good
leader. Mike Esse he's coming back off a very very good season last year,
which is super awesome. And then obviously we have guys like Derek Smith
and Kave Caster who are looking to kind of help us out for their for
their one year here. Yeah, how do you? How do you still
shoes like you? Like? You've all the Lopez that's like a it takes
like five people to five people to do what he did. You. I
mean, you're gonna pick obviously, the people you're going to talk about is
probably Ubi and Bloss, which are two very big shoes to fill. But
I mean I've called Ubi multiple times this year just kind of talking about the
team and talking about kind of ways to do that. But I think we
we kind of shift our team dynamic to fit the guys that we have now,
which is kind of our best chance to start winning some games. Yeah,
I think that's a really good point to shift the team dynamic to who
you have now because it's different, right, it's it's a different set of
guys, a different set of teams, you play different everything is there is
there another Mando helmet coming back? We got to work on that because there's
not. We got to figure that out. Yeah, it was pretty funny.
My mom got him Amanda's sword. Now, I'm like, oh boy,
I'm Gladdy he's got Can I send him that? I'm like, I
don't think you could have a sword in the dugout cam. I think you
should just keep that one. But it's funny. Yeah, that was neat.
Yeah, yeah, but that was neat when you guys had, you
know, had something for home runs or whatever. That mandal helmet was kind
of like a it was I heard it hurt people's heads because of the patting
inside and stuff. But it still is pretty fun. Yeah, and I
know they were fun. Yeah. The kids. Well, the thing with
that was that was neat too, is the kids at Pasco Park lined up
to try the helmet on. I don't know if you saw that or not,
but they were they they made a little line to I thought that was
so sweet. So I think things like that that you guys do. Yeah,
it's about you guys, but people pick up on it and it's it's
real good fun for people to follow and things like that. So I wonder
what you I wonder what shenanigans you guys will have in the dugout this year?
Respectful ones though, because you guys are on a shue Yeah yeah,
no, So what else? What else would we talk about? Because I
think you know, we're kind of there with time and things like that.
I don't want to keep you too long about thirty minutes or so, but
is there anything else that you want to talk about in terms of your team?
I kind of want to talk about mindset with you if you don't mind
for like maybe five minutes or so, because you know, we're the best
ever you show And it's a lot to be a student athlete, an athlete,
a student, a person you know, just just to not playing sports
or anything like that. But what keeps your mindset going? Like when you
when you don't strike somebody out or you or you have a failure or whatever,
how do you personally pick back up and keep going? For me,
I'm just kind of like a more goal oriented person. So I mean,
as kind of blatant as it is, like I want to play professional baseball
and I want to get drafted very high. So those are my goals,
and there's there's little things I need to do in order to reach those goals,
like I have to practice every day, I have to perform well.
So for me, just like even like like you said, like you mentioned
like like if I'm not like if I let up a home run, I
lose the game of the team, like some something along those lines, I
know that I just need to work hard for my next opportunity, and for
me, it actually it kind of fuels me to to work harder to pretty
much ensure that that outcome doesn't happen again. So I just kind of use
it as fuel, and I'll use it to practice extra or kind of maybe
tweak some things if that's what's needed, and I kind of go from there.
No, No, let's let's reverse that a little bit and talk about
Okay, you could just rest on your laurels and be like, yep,
I'm great. What keeps you from doing that? I'm just I've actually talked
with coach Capan about this. I'm just somebody who's like never satisfied. So
like no matter if I'm pitching great or pitching not so great, like I'm
not I'm not satisfied with my result and I'm always just trying to get better,
Like I think Capan mentioned when I kind of got him on the phone
and I was talking to him about that, but he's like, Cody,
You're not going to be satisfied until you're a Hall of Famer in the MLB
one day, like that's when you can be satisfied. And I was like,
that's that's actually really true. So that's how I kind of go about
that. Yeah, thank you for that. What do you what do you
say to those people who are cut or are on the bench, or who
aren't playing or you know who you know you're playing all the time and maybe
they're not What do you say to to to those? I mean I would
kind of say the same thing, like just not being satisfied, Like I'm
not satisfied that I'm not playing, and I'd like to earn a spot so
kind of outworking everybody. I mean, there's no there's no real secrets.
It's kind of practicing more than the other people and giving them a run for
of money. Like that's literally the name of the game in college baseball is
kind of there's always somebody behind me and gets ready to take my spot if
I'm not performing well. Yeah, so no, no, that makes sense.
What are little things that you can do that are that are that are
even free and don't don't require talent for example, that make you a leader?
I would say I would say communication is a big part. I like
to communicate with all my teammates, especially in baseball where players are split between
like the pitchers and the position players, Like I like to be be able
to communicate with with both sides and kind of bring us together. So I'd
say like communicating and saying whether you like you need something or asking questions,
That's kind of how I would approach that. Okay, And then this is
we have some of these questions are from people listening, so you're getting field
like twenty questions win apprize us where they're coming from. Yeah, off field
behavior goes on the field as well. Can you talk about that how important
your off field behavior is because you, as a human being carry everything that
you do twenty four to seven, Right, onto that baseball field. What
do you do to control off field behavior? Coach? He kind of uses
that as an example, like he says to us a time, like don't
embarrass the program. So things like that, like just kind of self check,
what'd you say, I'm sorry I said? Or yourself exactly? Yeah,
yes, obviously, And so that's kind of what what he kind of
goes by. And then obviously, like the goal is to for me is
to play baseball. So I, like you said, I evolve everything around
that. So I just carried myself in a way that if my coach was
there, my mom was there, my teacher was there, they'd approve of
whatever action that I'm doing. Yeah, I think it is. So this
is me just my timing in. I think it is so important not to
be you know, two, three or four people and just be you and
be authentically you. And I sometimes I've seen people act one way on a
field and then a completely different way you know, someplace else, and it's
like WHOA wait a minute, So that doesn't reconcile. So I think that's
that's wisdom right there. And and then you have a question of what would
let me read this thing on what would you say to the younger guys on
the team like what do you or or again, I think we asked this
earlier act, but let's let's go there again, Like what are some of
the things that freshmen can do on the team now that you're not a freshman
anymore, that you think would help help them get acclimated to you know,
college student athlete life. I would have said this a bunch of times,
but just like, yeah, for yourself, Like I've had freshmen ask me
like, oh, like it says this on the schedule, how do I
do this? Or what time do I need to be here? How do
I approach this? So like things like that are asking an older guy who's
kind of gone through before. That would be my best way to kind of
approach that and kind of get some insight. So you're not going in blind.
Oh here's a good question. What shouldn't you do? If that list
is long? What are some things that you that you would say to new
people on the team or freshmen or whatever, what not to do? What's
something to just here's a no, no, I don't want to say there's
a lot of those, but just kind of like like you, like you
were talking about earlier, like if if your mom wouldn't approve you doing it,
then you probably shouldn't do it. So things like like going out before
a game or or showing up late for practice or forgetting equipment like stuff like
that is just it's going to lean people the wrong way and you should just
like yeah, like you said, like it's a no no, yeah,
Okay, one more and then we're gonna let you go. Can we talk
about how cool it is that rollings could you you know, does gloves and
things like that. I don't know if that's happening again this year, but
I'm sure we want to talk about that. That was that was a special
moment. Yeah, I mean those are those are pieces of equipment and especially
like like our our gloves, where those are things you can keep to the
rest of your life. And I mean it's got the big the big Georgetown
logo on and you get to kind of customize it the way you want.
Those are just kind of you know, you look at that glove and you
remember, oh, like that that was the you that like Georgetown won their
first like playoff game like some stuff like that, which is super super cool
and we're very lucky where we're able to kind of get that equipment and play
with top tier equipment. Yep, does does rawlings like let you guys pick
Do they just go, Okay, here's a bunch of gloves, good luck,
or how does that work? Coach he's actually very nice and he lets
us kind of customized gloves kind of based on the year, So some of
the older guys will get custom gloves and the younger guys will kind of get
these like stock gloves. So he actually goes out of his way to order
gloves individually for every player. That's pretty cool. That's not that's that that
goes into the spoiled category. Ver. Yeah, you guys have a lot
of a lot of unifor like you know, I guess uniforms might be the
word for it, but a lot of different, you know, different game
day uniforms too. You know some sometimes you just get one and here it
is in a way and away in a home. But you guys have have
clothing to pick from. That's pretty that's pretty neat too, right, Yeah,
it's very nice to pick pick gear. And yeah, Coach c does
