You are doing so well 16 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.799 at Georgetown. It is so cool You're from Maine and I want to go 17 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.599 there. First, and talk about your career in Maine, if you would 18 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:22.400 please, because it's really special to have kids from Maine there at Georgetown University, 19 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.680 and there've been a few and it's it's amazing. I think you started 20 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.799 this trend, So tell us all about high school and Maine first, if 21 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.680 you would. Well, first off, I want to thank you for having 22 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.480 me on if it's an honor, And then I also wanted to wish my 23 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.120 mom a happy birthday. Happens to be a birthday. Oh, happy birthday, 24 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:49.280 Mom. But so just I mean, Maine is obviously kind of like 25 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.280 like niche and kind of like a hole in the wall, like people wouldn't 26 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.159 think that like good baseball players or like some good like students really come from 27 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.079 the state. But I mean, obviously me and then a lot of other 28 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.159 people, including obviously two of your sons who have kind of made the step 29 00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:13.159 onto the world stage down here in d C. Where it's actually above seventy 30 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.479 degrees out today, which is really nice. Was like, hey, mom, 31 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:22.879 it's seventy five. I'm like, that's exactly what I told her. 32 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.759 But growing up for me, for me, was was awesome. I love 33 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.479 spending time outdoors, and I remember like growing up, me and my dad 34 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:38.080 would head to the field or even just head outside in our yard and throw 35 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.439 the baseball around and just kind of enjoy the outdoors. And that's kind of 36 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.319 led me to fall in love with baseball and then in love with actually some 37 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:53.159 warmer weather because we need kind of that warmer weather to play. But yeah, 38 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.439 I mean that that's kind of how I fell in love with the game 39 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.719 and why kind of growing up in Maine was really really good for me, 40 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.680 because I mean, the outdoors are super, super nice, and you can 41 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.000 really throw snowballs at like ninety miles an hour two, can't you? Oh 42 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.520 yeah, Oh yeah, Cam. I used to get so frustrated to be 43 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.400 off the back deck just hurling snowballs into the wood, just like meltl you 44 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.000 had. You gotta make the best of the cold, you do. Yeah, 45 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:27.080 you had a standout career. Here it says here you're about six foot 46 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.840 two. Although to me, are you are you still? Are you six 47 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:34.479 foot three four or you six two? Or how's that going? I wish? 48 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.360 I think I think it depends on my hair day. It depends my 49 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.400 hair is matted down. But I'd like to say that I'm six too. 50 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.719 Okay, Well, I like to say I'm five to three on a big 51 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.240 hair day, so I'm with you there. Yeah, so I know, 52 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.479 I stand up next to you, I'm like, wow, you're way taller 53 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:57.000 than I am. You here in Maine, you led the Thornton Academy to 54 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:02.120 a Class A state tournament. You that was crazy. Great congratulations on that 55 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.960 back then and back and what year was that? Those two years old? 56 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:13.479 Two twenty twenty two, all right, and yeah, you were the Gatorade 57 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.240 Player of the Year from here. All all sorts of great comments about you 58 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.360 online there. I was just kind of reading, but I know perfect game 59 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:26.439 or inked you as you were ranked, and you ended up with a six 60 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.519 and zero record that year, I think, with a zero point four eight 61 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.000 e RA, a seventy four strikeouts and forty four and then pitch so we 62 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.759 can see why you were the Gatorade Player of the Year and and all that 63 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.240 good stuff. So congratulations on that, and yeah, thank you. Yeah, 64 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.839 and you I'm gonna keep going on Maine for a little bit here because 65 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.439 you came back to us. You didn't have to, and you did. 66 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:56.199 I saw you here last summer in Maine. Yeah, for Stanford Manors. 67 00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.000 Yeah, tell me about that. I mean, it couldn't have been a 68 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.199 better situation to play kind of some high level baseball close close to home. 69 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:10.160 Like my parents were able to make a trip down to watch me play, 70 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.399 which is one of my favorite things to do. And then I was actually 71 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.360 able to stay with my girlfriend pretty much the entire summer, which was super 72 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:23.600 awesome and super fun. Yeah, yeah, excellent. So yep, Sanford 73 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.399 Manors, they're they're down there in Sandford and they have a lot of they 74 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.920 have a lot of players from all over the all over the country, right, 75 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.720 it's not just main Oh yeah, somebody that you played with that you 76 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.360 were like, Wow, that's cool. I get to play with you and 77 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:40.759 you're here. I mean yeah, I mean there was some There were some 78 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.279 guys obviously from like some big name baseball schools, which was pretty cool. 79 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.120 And then we also had some kind of West Coast guys which was kind of 80 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:53.000 cool to hear their perspective on baseball and yeah, I'm super awesome. Yeah. 81 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.480 So you mentioned going from Maine to Georgetown. I know you're in your 82 00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.519 second year there, but tell so people, can you know, there's lots 83 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:02.360 of people listening and there's lots of people who are like, I want to 84 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.959 play in college, you know all those things. What's it like to go 85 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:13.759 from high school to college and play baseball because it's like having two full time 86 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.199 jobs or three. I would say absolutely. I don't think there's any way 87 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:23.879 to sugarcoat it, but I will say that like me personally, and I'm 88 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.319 completely like up for the challenge and willing to kind of do whatever it takes, 89 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.759 whether it's like spending some extra time practicing or even staying up late to 90 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:35.680 do some studying. But the transition is definitely tough. There's a lot more 91 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.600 expected out of you from from high school to college, I mean, and 92 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.199 this is like there's even more expected out of you, kind of going from 93 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.160 a main school where you kind of can't play all year round to a Division 94 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.439 one school where you're pretty much doing baseball things every single day. So it's 95 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.839 definitely a big jump. But it was also the time in my life where 96 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.120 I can and safely say that I did the most learning I've ever done. 97 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.560 So it's kind of you you get what you put in, and I've enjoyed 98 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:12.240 the entire thing. Yeah, what would you say is different this year for 99 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.879 you? Like what have you what's what have you learned from going from being 100 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.839 a Like I'm gonna say freshman is sophomore because I'm old, but sometimes people 101 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:24.240 say first year to second year whatever it is. So what have you what 102 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:29.000 have you learned from last year? I would say this year, I have 103 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.839 a little bit better of like a routine. And then I'm also aware of 104 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:38.319 kind of the resources that Georgetown has for like baseball players, Like I've been 105 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.399 able to see our trainer a little bit more to kind of get some extra 106 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:47.040 work. I know, the the hours at the gym, so I'll go 107 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:51.000 there extra time. So just things like that that I know maybe last year 108 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.360 I didn't know about. Now that I'm kind of in a little bit better 109 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.600 routine, I'm able to take advantage of those things. Yeah, all right, 110 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.560 let's talk about me just a little bit more here now there, I'm 111 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.920 going to guess three of you from Maine on the team, including the coach, 112 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.279 So talk about Maine for a minute in terms of who's there. And 113 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.720 you know, Coach T couldn't be a more cool human being. I mean 114 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.120 he's just the best. So you know, shut up Coach T and and 115 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:24.000 tell me about Derek too. While you're at it. Well, obviously they're 116 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:30.399 they're they're very relatable just because they're they're from the same state. We kind 117 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.320 of grew up doing the same things. Like, I know, I've talked 118 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:39.200 with Coach t specifically about some of like the the outdoor stuff that everybody in 119 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.559 Maine kind of likes to do. Derek I've got to talk to and got 120 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.960 to know a lot better too. He kind of he went to a Kenny 121 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.840 Bunk, which is kind of right down the road from TA so I was 122 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.600 actually able to play against him. It was my freshman year, his senior 123 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.679 gamer, and I kind of knew him as an acquaintance. But it's been 124 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.399 good to get to know him and we The funny part is all three of 125 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.919 us like know all of the same people. Like we'll mention somebody and Coach 126 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.559 he will know him, Derek will know him. Like. So that's one 127 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.399 really cool thing about being from Maine is kind of everybody knows everybody and we're 128 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.080 able to talk about things like that. Yeah, Yeah, don't you think 129 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:22.879 it's it's pretty neat that coach he's able to bring talent from Maine to Georgetown. 130 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.799 I just I think that's really special. He keeps an eye on on 131 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.240 people. And you know, he always says dream big and I and he 132 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.759 means it. Yep. No, he does a very good job with that. 133 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.519 Yeah. Absolutely, all right, So let's talk about this year. 134 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.080 You so, Georgetown is picked to finish fourth in the Big East, and 135 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.399 I think you just got a preseason accolade as well? Am I right? 136 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.919 I think you just got? Yeah? Now do you do you what do 137 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.200 you think about that? Do you think? What do you think when you're 138 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.200 pinning picked fourth? You go, that's not right. We should be picked 139 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.279 first because we're gonna be first. Yep, exactly. I mean you got 140 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:11.960 the right thinking there. I would say all all preseason awards are kind of 141 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.120 crap and kind of need to be earned. So just like any any preseason 142 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.399 like individual award or preseason team award like that, all that stuff needs to 143 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.159 be earned throughout the season. I feel like our team has a is ready 144 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.320 to earn those things. Yeah. Now, in social media for everybody following, 145 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.200 there's there's Hoya sacs and then there's also like a hashtag team and a 146 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.919 number. Last year was team one fifty three. This year is team one 147 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.320 fifty four. Can you explain that to our listeners, so they understand what 148 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:48.759 that means. It's not an insight like, it's meaningful. Correct. So 149 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.799 Team one fifty three was just the one hundred and fifty third team in program 150 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.240 history, and then this year we're gonna kind of start out with the one 151 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.440 hundred and fifty fourth team program history and just kind of shows how long Georgetown 152 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.879 Baseball's been around for a really long time, right, Yeah, yeah, 153 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.399 and team let's talk about Team one fifty three because you know, Team one 154 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.320 fifty four gets to improve on Team one fifty three, and that is that's 155 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.639 a tall order because now do you have all the accolades there with all the 156 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.320 things that Team one fifty three did or should I read them for you and 157 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.919 you can just chime in, which would you like? Yeah, I mean 158 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.600 I don't. I don't have them like all the top of my head, 159 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.360 but I definitely can mention a few. Like the biggest one for me is 160 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.159 kind of breaking that like not not having won a game in the in the 161 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:43.399 Big East Championship, which is kind of what our what our team goal is 162 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.399 and which is a very big step in the right direction. So that that 163 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.080 was kind of the biggest one that stood out for me, and then obviously 164 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.480 mister Blost kind of figured it out there on the mound and having a really 165 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.399 really good season and then getting his name called on draft day. Yeah, 166 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.919 nine overall, the Astro select Jake Bloss. I mean, how cool is 167 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.399 that? And he's a great human too, He's just a He's funny and 168 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.320 nice. And I talked to him in DMS and Instagram every once in a 169 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.559 while, just like, how's it going. You have a baseball card? 170 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.159 I want one? Sign it, send it.

Forty 174 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.440 five hundred people watching you guys play in Prasco Park in where was that, 175 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:41.440 Mason, Ohio? That is a cool Let's talk about Prasco Park for just 176 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:45.440 a second. That is a great place, isn't it. It's a very 177 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.679 nice place, and that's that's where we want to be. Yeah, we 178 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.039 drove, We drove from Mayno, Ohio. Just stay there and it was 179 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.480 so much fun. I remember on one of the games. I had Bloss 180 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.039 and Cam in the back of our car. It was so funny because it 181 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.600 was a pretty small car. Yeah, I'll fo Yeah, Oh it was 182 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.480 very fun And uh yeah, that's a beautiful, beautiful stadium. They do 183 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.879 a great job taking care of the Big East Tournament, don't they. It's 184 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.000 just gorgeous. Do a very good job. Yeah, And I mean they 185 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.639 even had like free food. I don't know if the players got to do 186 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:20.799 that, but everybody in the stands, you know, it's like free food 187 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:26.519 everywhere and free merchandise and free everything that It was a really really neat place. 188 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.320 So I want to just give them some some props there for just taking 189 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.679 care of everybody. So now you, let's talk about you. You. 190 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.240 Last year, you were a two way player who made fourteen appearances on the 191 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.320 mound with four starts. That's a big deal for a freshman. That is 192 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:45.480 really cool. You had a two point five to seven ear and forty two 193 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.639 innings of work. I'm just gonna keep reading. Forty seven strikeouts and here's 194 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.240 a big one. The batting average against you was point two of six, 195 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.080 basically two of six you played. You played in thirty nine games and started 196 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.399 twenty nine of them. On and on and on. There's and then there's 197 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.759 hitting stats as well. You earned your first collegiate hit against Presbyterian. I 198 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.639 think I have that on video. Actually I think I sent it to your 199 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:16.879 mom. I can't remember. Okay, gosh, that's it's awesome. So 200 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.679 you're not only there, you're excelling. You made a change this year to 201 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.120 be I think, to be a picture only. Is that correct or incorrect? 202 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:30.879 Correct? Ye? How's that? And why? So the big reason 203 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:35.000 why is just I kind of found some more success on the mound last year. 204 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.519 And then the kind of other big reason is I just kind of want 205 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:43.200 to spend my all my time at practice kind of perfecting and learning actually a 206 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:50.480 ton on the mound and kind of it was a decision kind of between me 207 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.879 and some of the coaches, and I actually got the opportunity to play down 208 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.519 in the Cape Cod League this summer, and it was just kind of as 209 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:01.240 a pitcher, So I wanted to kind of spend my time learning how to 210 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.960 pitch and kind of excelling in that because it's never something that I've gotten before. 211 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.440 Let's talk about that Cape Cod League. That is a that's the that's 212 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.519 like almost being in the MLB already. I mean, that's that's where everybody 213 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.000 wants to be able to pitch or play in the Cape Cod League. How 214 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.919 was that? Did you spend part of your summer there? All of your 215 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.879 summer there? I think you bumped from the mainers to their correct I was 216 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.399 going to get the opportunity to but didn't quite make it down there. I 217 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:37.840 was lucky enough to go catch one of my teammates Owen and Everett playing the 218 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.120 playoff game down there, which was super fun. Okay, yep, so 219 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.559 I don't have that quite right, but yeah, yeah, that's I mean, 220 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.679 that's it's just amazing. Tell us about your pitching coach he is he's 221 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:54.559 also one of my favorite human beings on the planet. Well, Coach Capen 222 00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:00.600 is just all around amazing. Like I'm pretty sure it gets kind of annoyed 223 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.960 at me for all the questions that I ask him. I'll even like I'll 224 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.240 text him and I'll be like, hey, like are you in your office 225 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.519 And he's trying to kind of work some things out or create a plan for 226 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:14.240 the week or whatever, and I'm just barging into his office kind of asking 227 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.480 him questions, trying to talk pitching, but I mean I would. I 228 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.840 can definitely say that he's kind of taught me everything in that pretty much everything 229 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.000 I know about pitching up to this point, and I've just learned to come 230 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:30.480 from him, and it's just a big reason I am. Now who are 231 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.639 the other coaches there this year? I know we one of the coaches left 232 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.080 to go to the West Coast and he was awesome too, So it's just 233 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.000 kind of you can't use the word awesome enough when you it's like Georgetown University 234 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.720 baseball boy is awesome. That's my word. So who are the other coaches 235 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.080 this year? So obviously we have coach t which is our head coach. 236 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:55.120 We have Coach Jathan, who I believe is the like associate head coach and 237 00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:00.000 my pitching coach. We have coach Brock Keener, who's the hitting coach and 238 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.960 the catching coach. We have coach Moe, who I believe is director of 239 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:11.960 player development, and then we have an assistant in Travant Johnson. M all 240 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:18.039 right, and yeah, everybody combines there to to to help out it. 241 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:22.759 It's the field itself is not on campus. Explain that because a lot of 242 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.079 times the field's right there. You know, you just walk out and it's 243 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:27.960 you know, it's right there. In Georgetown's case, the field is not 244 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:33.720 there. Talk about last year's field and this year's field and where you guys 245 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.960 are playing and all that, because last year we had vans and it was 246 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.599 sort of do we still have vans? Oh, we still have vans. 247 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:47.519 We still have vans. Tell us, I'll be quiet, you talk. 248 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.839 So last year we played at Washington National's Youth Academy, looking down in like 249 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:59.680 Southeast DC. It was probably it's crazy. It's crazy to say this actually 250 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.480 because in Maine, like it wouldn't take this long to go that far, 251 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.400 but it's like, I think it's like eight miles, but it ends up 252 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:08.160 taking like thirty minutes, which is crazy to think about. But so we 253 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:15.000 would drive down there pretty much every day for practice and then we'd play there. 254 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.720 But this year we've actually been able to upgrade to Capital One Park over 255 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:25.519 in Tyson's Corner, Virginia, I believe, And it's the same idea. 256 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:30.359 It's probably a twenty five thirty minute drive and we all kind of pop in 257 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.079 the vans, we chat, and then we get to the field and we 258 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.960 do our practicing and we have our game and then we drive back. Yeah, 259 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.359 and that is a gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous field. We went there 260 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:47.279 for alumni day a few months ago, and tell us about those facilities, 261 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.400 because that's special. And like when you go into the elevators of one of 262 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:53.799 the hotels, there's pictures of Georgetown on baseball, and I mean they're proud, 263 00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:00.160 very proud to have I mean I would I'd say it's an honor to 264 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.079 be able to play play at a place like that and have the opportunity to 265 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.920 play there. I mean, it's, like you said, very very nice. 266 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:12.200 Like I believe one of the conference tournaments is being D one conference tournaments 267 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:17.039 being held there. So it's just it's a really kind of prestigious ballpark. 268 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:19.920 It's actually really new, which is also really cool and kind of modern, 269 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.400 which is super nice. And we're just very fortunate to be able to play 270 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:29.759 there. Yeah. Yeah, No, it's it's gorgeous over there. Who 271 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:37.960 drives the vans? You're talking to them there. It's it's pretty much our 272 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.039 our sophomore class. Well, we'll drive the vans and occasionally some some juniors 273 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:45.599 will take turns, and we have four vans and every morning, I wake 274 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.920 up and I signed four van drivers. I try to make it even and 275 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:53.519 yeah, it's pretty much out rules. Is anybody like, yeah, you 276 00:19:53.519 --> 00:20:00.519 don't want me driving other than cant not doing it? Yeah, no, 277 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:06.920 I'm kind of with them. But yeah, it's funny. All right, 278 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:11.119 Let's let's talk about the upcoming season. Let's talk about teammates you know, 279 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:17.759 and and and go there the upcoming season. What can we expect? What's 280 00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:21.400 your what's your schedule? Like? It sounds like you guys are in Arizona. 281 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.000 Yeah, I mean that's a super highlight of our season. We kind 282 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.640 of get to kick it off. We get to go kind of towards the 283 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.319 West Coast, which is somewhere. I mean, I've never been to Arizona, 284 00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:36.519 and I know some of the guys and the team haven't been there either, 285 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:41.000 And we're gonna head down there, play Friday, Saturday, Sunday against 286 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.200 three really really good teams, which is exactly who we want to match up 287 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:51.920 against. And then after that we're pretty much we got challenges every weekend. 288 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.279 So that's the plan, and we're gonna do our best to win the Big 289 00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.160 East, which is our goal. Yeah, it sounds like this year you 290 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.680 guys play Duke, and I mean we got really we got Duke, we 291 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:10.599 got Way for us, we got Ohio State. So we're definitely playing some 292 00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:12.480 some big, big name schools. But I mean that's what we want to 293 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:17.680 compete against. Yeah. That that that just levels everything up, right, 294 00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:22.720 It just just such as they just plays up. Will you guys have any 295 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.640 like, what's what's a big difference between one side four and team one five 296 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.960 four and one side three in terms of people and things like that? Tell 297 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:36.000 some tell some of the highlights of team one five three versus one five four. 298 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:38.759 You know, all just talk about your teammates. Well, I'd say 299 00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:44.799 the biggest thing is that Team one fifty three just kind of laid laid kind 300 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:49.559 of an expectation and uh a work ethic for future teams to build off of. 301 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.240 So, I mean, obviously we worked really really hard to accomplish the 302 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:59.799 things we did last year. And I mean, as the teams keep going 303 00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:02.720 up, like one fifty four, one fifty five, fifty six, like 304 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:06.359 we're going to be expected to do more and more, and we've just kind 305 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:12.200 of we've built a good foundation coach to help with that. Tremendous tremendously And 306 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:17.519 yeah, so that that's kind of the thing. We we we have a 307 00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:21.000 a standard, as coach t he likes to call it, and the standard 308 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:25.240 is the standard, and the as years go on, the standard is just 309 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:27.759 going to keep getting higher. Yeah, yeah, that's a good one. 310 00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:34.599 What can we expect from what different starters and things like that, like talk, 311 00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.000 let's talk. Do you mind talking about specific teammates or is that unfair? 312 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:42.039 I don't know the rules, you know, the like talk about Owen 313 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.319 or just some of the some of the players. So it's just always fun 314 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:49.839 to talk about. You know, everybody's so awesome that I can't even pick 315 00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:55.880 but you know, yeah, yeah, I mean totally we have We have 316 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.440 one through forty guys who are have worked their ass off to be able to 317 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:06.880 play. I mean Owen, I I give him crap all the time about 318 00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.640 kind of getting in the gym and we need to work more, we need 319 00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.160 to do this, we need to do that, and we kind of love 320 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:17.680 vickering back and forth at each other. But he's gonna be super awesome and 321 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:21.759 I'm super lucky to be able to pitch to him. Everett came off a 322 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.200 very good summer. He he's looking to be kind of one of our one 323 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:32.279 of our best pitchers, and I'm excited for him. I mean, we 324 00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:37.279 have we have grad transfers who are looking really good in Josh Rawling and Joe 325 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.440 holler Back and Marco was on the team last year. He's looking really good. 326 00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:47.319 Jake Hyde is a blast to be around. He's a very very good 327 00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:53.599 leader. Mike Esse he's coming back off a very very good season last year, 328 00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:59.559 which is super awesome. And then obviously we have guys like Derek Smith 329 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.839 and Kave Caster who are looking to kind of help us out for their for 330 00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:08.160 their one year here. Yeah, how do you? How do you still 331 00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:14.559 shoes like you? Like? You've all the Lopez that's like a it takes 332 00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:18.400 like five people to five people to do what he did. You. I 333 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.359 mean, you're gonna pick obviously, the people you're going to talk about is 334 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.799 probably Ubi and Bloss, which are two very big shoes to fill. But 335 00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.799 I mean I've called Ubi multiple times this year just kind of talking about the 336 00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:37.599 team and talking about kind of ways to do that. But I think we 337 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.799 we kind of shift our team dynamic to fit the guys that we have now, 338 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.400 which is kind of our best chance to start winning some games. Yeah, 339 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:49.519 I think that's a really good point to shift the team dynamic to who 340 00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:52.720 you have now because it's different, right, it's it's a different set of 341 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.079 guys, a different set of teams, you play different everything is there is 342 00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:03.119 there another Mando helmet coming back? We got to work on that because there's 343 00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.359 not. We got to figure that out. Yeah, it was pretty funny. 344 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.279 My mom got him Amanda's sword. Now, I'm like, oh boy, 345 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.079 I'm Gladdy he's got Can I send him that? I'm like, I 346 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.519 don't think you could have a sword in the dugout cam. I think you 347 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.839 should just keep that one. But it's funny. Yeah, that was neat. 348 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.319 Yeah, yeah, but that was neat when you guys had, you 349 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:29.319 know, had something for home runs or whatever. That mandal helmet was kind 350 00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:33.640 of like a it was I heard it hurt people's heads because of the patting 351 00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:36.640 inside and stuff. But it still is pretty fun. Yeah, and I 352 00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:38.599 know they were fun. Yeah. The kids. Well, the thing with 353 00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:41.559 that was that was neat too, is the kids at Pasco Park lined up 354 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.599 to try the helmet on. I don't know if you saw that or not, 355 00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.680 but they were they they made a little line to I thought that was 356 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.759 so sweet. So I think things like that that you guys do. Yeah, 357 00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.400 it's about you guys, but people pick up on it and it's it's 358 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.240 real good fun for people to follow and things like that. So I wonder 359 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.680 what you I wonder what shenanigans you guys will have in the dugout this year? 360 00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:10.759 Respectful ones though, because you guys are on a shue Yeah yeah, 361 00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:14.839 no, So what else? What else would we talk about? Because I 362 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:18.279 think you know, we're kind of there with time and things like that. 363 00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:21.319 I don't want to keep you too long about thirty minutes or so, but 364 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:25.440 is there anything else that you want to talk about in terms of your team? 365 00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:27.559 I kind of want to talk about mindset with you if you don't mind 366 00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:32.000 for like maybe five minutes or so, because you know, we're the best 367 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:37.279 ever you show And it's a lot to be a student athlete, an athlete, 368 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.119 a student, a person you know, just just to not playing sports 369 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.039 or anything like that. But what keeps your mindset going? Like when you 370 00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:49.960 when you don't strike somebody out or you or you have a failure or whatever, 371 00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:56.920 how do you personally pick back up and keep going? For me, 372 00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.480 I'm just kind of like a more goal oriented person. So I mean, 373 00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.920 as kind of blatant as it is, like I want to play professional baseball 374 00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:08.559 and I want to get drafted very high. So those are my goals, 375 00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:12.240 and there's there's little things I need to do in order to reach those goals, 376 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.359 like I have to practice every day, I have to perform well. 377 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.640 So for me, just like even like like you said, like you mentioned 378 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:22.480 like like if I'm not like if I let up a home run, I 379 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.880 lose the game of the team, like some something along those lines, I 380 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.559 know that I just need to work hard for my next opportunity, and for 381 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:37.559 me, it actually it kind of fuels me to to work harder to pretty 382 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.440 much ensure that that outcome doesn't happen again. So I just kind of use 383 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:47.039 it as fuel, and I'll use it to practice extra or kind of maybe 384 00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:49.279 tweak some things if that's what's needed, and I kind of go from there. 385 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:53.119 No, No, let's let's reverse that a little bit and talk about 386 00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.839 Okay, you could just rest on your laurels and be like, yep, 387 00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:03.920 I'm great. What keeps you from doing that? I'm just I've actually talked 388 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:08.400 with coach Capan about this. I'm just somebody who's like never satisfied. So 389 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:17.400 like no matter if I'm pitching great or pitching not so great, like I'm 390 00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:19.640 not I'm not satisfied with my result and I'm always just trying to get better, 391 00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:23.119 Like I think Capan mentioned when I kind of got him on the phone 392 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.440 and I was talking to him about that, but he's like, Cody, 393 00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:29.920 You're not going to be satisfied until you're a Hall of Famer in the MLB 394 00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:32.759 one day, like that's when you can be satisfied. And I was like, 395 00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:37.319 that's that's actually really true. So that's how I kind of go about 396 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.440 that. Yeah, thank you for that. What do you what do you 397 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:48.079 say to those people who are cut or are on the bench, or who 398 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:53.039 aren't playing or you know who you know you're playing all the time and maybe 399 00:28:53.039 --> 00:29:00.359 they're not What do you say to to to those? I mean I would 400 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:04.839 kind of say the same thing, like just not being satisfied, Like I'm 401 00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.480 not satisfied that I'm not playing, and I'd like to earn a spot so 402 00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:15.000 kind of outworking everybody. I mean, there's no there's no real secrets. 403 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:19.359 It's kind of practicing more than the other people and giving them a run for 404 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:22.920 of money. Like that's literally the name of the game in college baseball is 405 00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:27.240 kind of there's always somebody behind me and gets ready to take my spot if 406 00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:33.039 I'm not performing well. Yeah, so no, no, that makes sense. 407 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.519 What are little things that you can do that are that are that are 408 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:44.440 even free and don't don't require talent for example, that make you a leader? 409 00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:52.519 I would say I would say communication is a big part. I like 410 00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:56.200 to communicate with all my teammates, especially in baseball where players are split between 411 00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.400 like the pitchers and the position players, Like I like to be be able 412 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:04.839 to communicate with with both sides and kind of bring us together. So I'd 413 00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:11.000 say like communicating and saying whether you like you need something or asking questions, 414 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:17.000 That's kind of how I would approach that. Okay, And then this is 415 00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:22.039 we have some of these questions are from people listening, so you're getting field 416 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:26.720 like twenty questions win apprize us where they're coming from. Yeah, off field 417 00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.720 behavior goes on the field as well. Can you talk about that how important 418 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:34.279 your off field behavior is because you, as a human being carry everything that 419 00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:38.519 you do twenty four to seven, Right, onto that baseball field. What 420 00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:45.440 do you do to control off field behavior? Coach? He kind of uses 421 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.119 that as an example, like he says to us a time, like don't 422 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:53.839 embarrass the program. So things like that, like just kind of self check, 423 00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.799 what'd you say, I'm sorry I said? Or yourself exactly? Yeah, 424 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:04.640 yes, obviously, And so that's kind of what what he kind of 425 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:11.240 goes by. And then obviously, like the goal is to for me is 426 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:14.119 to play baseball. So I, like you said, I evolve everything around 427 00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:18.119 that. So I just carried myself in a way that if my coach was 428 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:23.519 there, my mom was there, my teacher was there, they'd approve of 429 00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:27.359 whatever action that I'm doing. Yeah, I think it is. So this 430 00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:30.319 is me just my timing in. I think it is so important not to 431 00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.839 be you know, two, three or four people and just be you and 432 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:40.799 be authentically you. And I sometimes I've seen people act one way on a 433 00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:44.039 field and then a completely different way you know, someplace else, and it's 434 00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:47.759 like WHOA wait a minute, So that doesn't reconcile. So I think that's 435 00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:51.680 that's wisdom right there. And and then you have a question of what would 436 00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:55.359 let me read this thing on what would you say to the younger guys on 437 00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:59.079 the team like what do you or or again, I think we asked this 438 00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:02.039 earlier act, but let's let's go there again, Like what are some of 439 00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:06.279 the things that freshmen can do on the team now that you're not a freshman 440 00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:09.480 anymore, that you think would help help them get acclimated to you know, 441 00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:15.799 college student athlete life. I would have said this a bunch of times, 442 00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:22.400 but just like, yeah, for yourself, Like I've had freshmen ask me 443 00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.119 like, oh, like it says this on the schedule, how do I 444 00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:28.759 do this? Or what time do I need to be here? How do 445 00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.160 I approach this? So like things like that are asking an older guy who's 446 00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:36.240 kind of gone through before. That would be my best way to kind of 447 00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:39.279 approach that and kind of get some insight. So you're not going in blind. 448 00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:45.319 Oh here's a good question. What shouldn't you do? If that list 449 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:50.960 is long? What are some things that you that you would say to new 450 00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.000 people on the team or freshmen or whatever, what not to do? What's 451 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:59.640 something to just here's a no, no, I don't want to say there's 452 00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:01.799 a lot of those, but just kind of like like you, like you 453 00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:06.640 were talking about earlier, like if if your mom wouldn't approve you doing it, 454 00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.039 then you probably shouldn't do it. So things like like going out before 455 00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:16.119 a game or or showing up late for practice or forgetting equipment like stuff like 456 00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:22.920 that is just it's going to lean people the wrong way and you should just 457 00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:27.039 like yeah, like you said, like it's a no no, yeah, 458 00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:30.039 Okay, one more and then we're gonna let you go. Can we talk 459 00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:32.880 about how cool it is that rollings could you you know, does gloves and 460 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:36.200 things like that. I don't know if that's happening again this year, but 461 00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:38.519 I'm sure we want to talk about that. That was that was a special 462 00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:44.680 moment. Yeah, I mean those are those are pieces of equipment and especially 463 00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:49.400 like like our our gloves, where those are things you can keep to the 464 00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.440 rest of your life. And I mean it's got the big the big Georgetown 465 00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:54.000 logo on and you get to kind of customize it the way you want. 466 00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:58.759 Those are just kind of you know, you look at that glove and you 467 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:01.799 remember, oh, like that that was the you that like Georgetown won their 468 00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:06.880 first like playoff game like some stuff like that, which is super super cool 469 00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:10.880 and we're very lucky where we're able to kind of get that equipment and play 470 00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:15.119 with top tier equipment. Yep, does does rawlings like let you guys pick 471 00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.400 Do they just go, Okay, here's a bunch of gloves, good luck, 472 00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.360 or how does that work? Coach he's actually very nice and he lets 473 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:25.480 us kind of customized gloves kind of based on the year, So some of 474 00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:30.039 the older guys will get custom gloves and the younger guys will kind of get 475 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:36.719 these like stock gloves. So he actually goes out of his way to order 476 00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:40.559 gloves individually for every player. That's pretty cool. That's not that's that that 477 00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:46.239 goes into the spoiled category. Ver. Yeah, you guys have a lot 478 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:50.760 of a lot of unifor like you know, I guess uniforms might be the 479 00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:54.559 word for it, but a lot of different, you know, different game 480 00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:58.840 day uniforms too. You know some sometimes you just get one and here it 481 00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:01.239 is in a way and away in a home. But you guys have have 482 00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:06.960 clothing to pick from. That's pretty that's pretty neat too, right, Yeah, 483 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:13.239 it's very nice to pick pick gear. And yeah, Coach c does 484 00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:15.559 a very good job of making us look good on the field, which is 485 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.119 super awesome. Awesome.
