Speaker 1: The Dodgers and Cubs getting set for Cactus League action
Speaker 1: here at Sloan Park, and I'm joined right now by
Speaker 1: my favorite Caros, not Eric, his son Jared, who has
Speaker 1: worked his way from UCLA all the way to big
Speaker 1: league camp with the Dodgers. Jared, thanks a lot for
Speaker 1: the time, and man, like I told you, miles above
Speaker 1: your dad right now.
Speaker 2: Dang, I like that introduction a lot. It's pretty awesome
Speaker 2: being here just around all the guys. Obviously first big
Speaker 2: league camp experience, so it's been pretty sweet so far.
Speaker 1: You're here in the corner. You do not want to
Speaker 1: be noticed, do you?
Speaker 3: Hah? Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just kind of trying to stay out of it,
Speaker 2: just learn as much as I can from the guys,
Speaker 2: not getting anyone's way, but also trying to learn as
Speaker 2: much as I can and just get better.
Speaker 1: It's one thing to be in big league camp like
Speaker 1: your brother Kyle with the Rockies. It's another to be
Speaker 1: a minor leaguer in your first big league camp on
Speaker 1: this team. What's it like just when you look around
Speaker 1: the clubhouse and you see all stars all over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's crazy, no doubt. I mean obviously, just
Speaker 2: talking to my brother he's with the Rockies. Our experiences
Speaker 2: are completely different so far. So just being able to
Speaker 2: hear how his is and then me just looking around
Speaker 2: seeing all the fans, all the reporters, it's pretty surreal.
Speaker 3: Then obviously all the players. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: When I talked to host Wade Depaula, his locker is
Speaker 1: all the way down on the other end of yours,
Speaker 1: and he said he's just hoping not to be called
Speaker 1: up in the morning meetings. Are you looking for the
Speaker 1: same thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that's obviously something you want to stay
Speaker 2: out of. I think at some point it's going to come,
Speaker 2: but as of now, I haven't been called yet.
Speaker 3: So fingers crossed.
Speaker 1: It feels like you're trying to blend in with this
Speaker 1: wall behind you so nobody notices you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, that's a good way to put it.
Speaker 2: Just staying over here, minding my own business, doing my
Speaker 2: own thing.
Speaker 1: Have you been able to watch bullpens of guys like
Speaker 1: Blake Snell or you know, Otani even throwing his bullpen.
Speaker 1: Have you been able to just be able to observe
Speaker 1: those guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah? I have.
Speaker 2: Actually I've watched a lot of guys throw and just
Speaker 2: being able to see the way they go about their
Speaker 2: business and how detailed they are, especially with the pitch execution.
Speaker 2: That's kind of the biggest thing I've noticed, like difference
Speaker 2: wise from over here and obviously the minor league side,
Speaker 2: So just being able to see the way they go
Speaker 2: about their things has been pretty cool to see.
Speaker 1: How do you take from that and put that into
Speaker 1: the pot that makes Jared Carrolls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously you try and take as much as you can,
Speaker 2: and then when I'm throwing my bullpens, I'm trying to
Speaker 2: be as detailed as I can present with each pitch
Speaker 2: and trying to execute pitches. So that's just kind of
Speaker 2: something I've learned so far here.
Speaker 1: Jared Carrows is our guest in front of first pitch
Speaker 1: between the Dodgers and Cubs. How much pride do you
Speaker 1: take in the fact that you don't throw ninety eight,
Speaker 1: but you've worked your way up from college to be
Speaker 1: in the position where people are starting to notice that
Speaker 1: you're getting closer to being a major league pitcher.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Obviously everyone has their strengths, and for me, it's always
Speaker 2: been just being able to command my pitches and execute
Speaker 2: and attack hitters and game plan against them and all
Speaker 2: that stuff.
Speaker 3: So that's something I take a lot of pride in.
Speaker 2: And it's been cool to watch my journey so far,
Speaker 2: and I'm excited for the future.
Speaker 1: Everybody always talks about the journey. How has the journey
Speaker 1: been for you, even though you're still working on the
Speaker 1: finished product.
Speaker 2: It's been awesome, I would say, just where I'm at
Speaker 2: now and versus where I first got drafted, it's night
Speaker 2: and day with how much better I've gotten. So I'm
Speaker 2: excited to see where things go. But right now, I'm
Speaker 2: just focused on each day right now and getting better.
Speaker 1: All right, Jared, thanks a lot for the time. Really
Speaker 1: appreciate it. It's great that you have a calendar on
Speaker 1: your locker so you know when the games are.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: You threw live BP, so the next game? You ready
Speaker 1: for the game?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think I'll throw on Saturday. So I'm excited.
Speaker 3: You're looking forward to it?
Speaker 1: Are you disappointed that your dad will be there? Would
Speaker 1: you prefer me to say stay somewhere else?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: I think we've talked about it and he said the
Speaker 2: games I'm thrown in, he's going to be in the
Speaker 2: stands or so.
Speaker 1: I'm not in the dugout, so he'll be out of
Speaker 1: the way for sure. All right, Jared, thanks a lot
Speaker 1: for the time. Really appreciated. And like I said, number
Speaker 1: one Carrols right here on Dodgers Radio.
Speaker 3: There we go. Love to hear it. Thank you.
