00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Hi, everyone, welcome to Guardians Weekly, Himro and how So

5
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 2>along with you as we continue our shows from Guardian

6
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 2>spring training in Goodyear, Arizona. And we are heading in

7
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 2>to the final week of games now, as it won't

8
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 2>be long before the start of the regular season begins

9
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 2>two weeks from this past Thursday, so we are closing

10
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 2>in on the final days of spring training. Still a

11
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 2>lot to be decided, including who would be that opening

12
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 2>day second basement and the regular second basement on this team,

13
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 2>if indeed there is one. They may end up rotating

14
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 2>several players through that position over the course of at

15
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 2>least the early portion of the season, and right field

16
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 2>still very much up for grabs. It may yet be

17
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>a platoon like it was for much of the second

18
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 2>half last season with Will Brennan and John Kenzie Noel

19
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 2>in that platoon. We'll see, Still a lot to be

20
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>decided there, maybe some spots or a spot in the

21
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.799
<v Speaker 2>starting rotation, and certainly some spots in the bullpen up

22
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>for grabs too, as we had down the stretch, but

23
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>not many, so really not a whole lot to be

24
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>decided at this point in terms of the roster. Good

25
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 2>show lined up for you today. Coming up in just

26
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, we will hear from David Frye, who

27
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 2>won't be on the roster to start the season. He's

28
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 2>recovering from Tommy John surgery, but one of the heroes

29
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 2>from last season's postseason run. He'll join us and talk

30
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.240
<v Speaker 2>about his recovery from the surgery, when he's expected back,

31
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 2>and some of the things that he's looking forward to

32
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 2>when he does return to play. We'll hear from All

33
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:37.199
<v Speaker 2>Star outfielder and Gold Glove winner Stephen Kwan, looking forward

34
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 2>to another big season at the plate as well. Catcher

35
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Bo Naylor will stop by and chat with us as well,

36
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 2>and we'll bring you up to date on some of

37
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>the great summer camp opportunities for kids in Northeast Ohio

38
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 2>courtesy of Guardian Summer Camps. That's coming up a little

39
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>bit later on in our show today, but first we

40
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to visit recently with first baseman Kyle

41
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>man Zardo, who had a strong finish to his season

42
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>a year ago, had a big home run in the

43
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.840
<v Speaker 2>postseason and figures to be a key bat in the

44
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 2>lineup for this year's Guardians. Is he'll see some more

45
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>time at first base this year instead of just as

46
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>a designated hitter as he was a season ago, and

47
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>he says his solid finish to the regular season and

48
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 2>performance in the postseason a year ago helped him get

49
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.039
<v Speaker 2>things done in a positive note this past off season.

50
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was. It was a great offseason. I went

51
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 3>into it, you know, feeling really inspired and ready to work,

52
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 3>just based off of how last season went and you

53
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 3>know how it ended, unfortunately, So I kind of I

54
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 3>just went to work, did did this a lot of

55
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 3>the same things I've done, and then you know, made

56
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 3>some some adjustments that I learned that you know, I

57
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 3>needed to do, kind of as I've gotten.

58
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 4>A little bit older.

59
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>When you look at your season a year ago, you

60
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>get that ear call up and then go back down

61
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>and then come back and you really had good success

62
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 2>when you came back. I think that's happened. There's so

63
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>many players at this level, so it's not anything new,

64
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 2>but but what is the difference when when you do

65
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 2>come back after having a chance to have seen it

66
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 2>earlier in the season.

67
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think, I mean a lot of it kind

68
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 3>of comes down to you just don't know what you

69
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.439
<v Speaker 3>don't know. So whenever, whenever I had came back up,

70
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 3>there was a I mean a lot of things that

71
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 3>I had learned, you know, from the first first trip

72
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.600
<v Speaker 3>up and h nothing, nothing really came as like a

73
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 3>shock to me the second go round. So I was

74
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 3>able to, you know, show up and just be ready

75
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 3>to play baseball.

76
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 2>And you had some big home runs down the stretch

77
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 2>and then also home run in the postseason. What was

78
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>that postseason run like for you, and especially as a

79
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 2>rookie to go through.

80
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 3>That, Uh, Man, that was a that was a dream.

81
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 3>It was cool and it was I was happy that

82
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 3>it came in a game that we won. Uh definitely

83
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 3>makes it feel a little sweeter.

84
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm getting back to your your off season, most

85
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>of it spent back home in Idaho, but you did

86
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 2>come down here for a week to good year. What

87
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.399
<v Speaker 2>was the purpose of that and why can't that be

88
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 2>really helpful for you.

89
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 3>Just to just to check in, make sure the coaches

90
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 3>and stuff are seeing where my swing's at. That way,

91
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 3>It's it was still early enough to where I was

92
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 3>able to make any any adjustments and you know, tweak

93
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 3>anything that I needed to. And then obviously nice to

94
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 3>see some some sunshine in the middle of the winter.

95
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, yeah, none of that in Idaho.

96
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, we don't see the sun for a

97
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 3>few months up there.

98
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.759
<v Speaker 2>But you do have a good spot to work out.

99
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 2>And I know your batting practice thrower is someone you

100
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 2>know very well, dell Us who helps you out with that.

101
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so my my dad throws me bp uh kind

102
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 3>of throughout the off season and then we mix in

103
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 3>some machines and stuff too, so able to see some velocity.

104
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.160
<v Speaker 2>How long has he been doing that and helping you

105
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 2>with your game?

106
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.759
<v Speaker 3>Long as I can remember, long as I can remember?

107
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.600
<v Speaker 2>And it's is that something that you know you look

108
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 2>back on, he said, And maybe you don't even realize

109
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 2>it now, but is it something you think you might

110
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.040
<v Speaker 2>look back on at some point say, that's pretty cool

111
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>that I was able to do that with my tame.

112
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean it's something I look back at even

113
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.759
<v Speaker 3>now and realize, you know, how special that is, very

114
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.680
<v Speaker 3>very grateful and appreciative for that, because it's you know,

115
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:40.560
<v Speaker 3>it's not a very common experience.

116
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.480
<v Speaker 2>We talked so much about hitting, but I know you

117
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 2>want to play some first base this year, And what

118
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.279
<v Speaker 2>do you think you or what are you working on

119
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.319
<v Speaker 2>to become a better defensive first basement? And how far

120
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:54.399
<v Speaker 2>along do you think you've come?

121
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

122
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, just just trusting, trusting the work that

123

146
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.839
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to Guardian's weekly Jim Rosenhouse back with you

147
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 2>from Goodyear, Arizona and Guardian Spring training. And here in

148
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:29.240
<v Speaker 2>spring training but not participating in games just yet is

149
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.360
<v Speaker 2>David Frye, who was such a key especially in the

150
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:36.159
<v Speaker 2>first half a year ago. He was catching, playing some outfield,

151
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 2>some first base, a DH as well, and he hit

152
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.240
<v Speaker 2>well enough to be a part of the American League

153
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.320
<v Speaker 2>All Star team. But a sore elbow really hampered his

154
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.039
<v Speaker 2>efforts in the second half of the season to stay

155
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 2>on the field defensively. In fact, was used mainly as

156
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.960
<v Speaker 2>a DH down the stretch. Tommy John surgery after the

157
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.720
<v Speaker 2>season followed. So he's behind everyone else here this spring.

158
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 2>But fry is at spring training and he's around his teammates,

159
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 2>and he says that is especially important to get back

160
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.440
<v Speaker 2>here and finish his rehab amongst his teammates.

161
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, huge part as soon as they got

162
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:17.000
<v Speaker 4>out got out here obviously, like rehaven's not fun. You

163
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.320
<v Speaker 4>want to be on the field plane, but just being

164
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 4>around the guys, joking around in the clubhouse makes everything

165
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:23.360
<v Speaker 4>a lot easier.

166
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.240
<v Speaker 2>And you look back at last year, when did things

167
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 2>start barking on you for your arm and how much

168
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.440
<v Speaker 2>of a challenge was it to at least stay available

169
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 2>at the plate.

170
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was one of those things kind of started

171
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 4>a little before All Star break and kind of continued

172
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.279
<v Speaker 4>for a little bit, and then probably a little after

173
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.120
<v Speaker 4>All Star break there was like, hey, you're just gonna

174
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.240
<v Speaker 4>hit play first if we absolutely need you to, which

175
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.480
<v Speaker 4>was really cool by them to let me stay active

176
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:49.840
<v Speaker 4>and kind of be a part of that run.

177
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>And when you look back on last year, you're an

178
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.679
<v Speaker 2>All Star and you're part of a postseason run. Could

179
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.600
<v Speaker 2>it go any better? I mean, obviously you want to

180
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.159
<v Speaker 2>take that last step team wise, but when you look

181
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.519
<v Speaker 2>back on it, what were your thoughts at during the offseason.

182
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:05.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean really cool year.

183
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 2>Special.

184
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:10.000
<v Speaker 4>Obviously would have rather not had the arm injury, but

185
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean it was a really fun year, and I

186
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.159
<v Speaker 4>think we got another really good chance this year, hopefully

187
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.399
<v Speaker 4>win two more series this year.

188
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.399
<v Speaker 2>And when you look back at coming through in key spots,

189
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 2>obviously the huge home run in the Tiger Series and

190
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.960
<v Speaker 2>another one in the Yankee Series, did it teach you

191
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about yourself and that ability to come

192
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:29.639
<v Speaker 2>through in a key situation.

193
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:31.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, maybe a little bit. A lot of it was

194
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 4>just I mean, Voter and Albie put me in good spots.

195
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, whether it was a pinch hit late or

196
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 4>it just seemed like every get bad I had was

197
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.679
<v Speaker 4>like runners on base, two outs, and it didn't help

198
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:47.279
<v Speaker 4>my wife's nerves. But I definitely had plenty of opportunities

199
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:48.559
<v Speaker 4>to have those moments.

200
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.960
<v Speaker 2>And it sounded like it gave you an opportunity to

201
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.679
<v Speaker 2>get in touch with some people that you hadn't heard

202
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.879
<v Speaker 2>from in a long time, in terms of coaches and

203
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 2>all players too. Yeah, for sure, after those games there

204
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.240
<v Speaker 2>were a lot of techs and stuff, but yeah, good

205
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.600
<v Speaker 2>good old friends kind of reaching out and stuff. That

206
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>was cool. David Fry joining us recovering from Tommy John surgery.

207
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.759
<v Speaker 2>You don't hear about it a whole lot with position

208
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 2>players How different is it though for you as opposed

209
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:12.559
<v Speaker 2>to being a pitcher where you rely so much out

210
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:13.320
<v Speaker 2>of your throwing off.

211
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's what I mean. It's kinda not as like

212
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, a pitcher has it's like, all right, he's

213
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.759
<v Speaker 4>gonna be out for the year. Luckily as a hitter

214
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.679
<v Speaker 4>can kind of come back a little quicker and my

215
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 4>whole game doesn't just rely on me throwing the ball.

216
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.960
<v Speaker 4>So just hopefully progress quick and get to join the

217
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:30.480
<v Speaker 4>boys soon.

218
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.080
<v Speaker 2>And maybe a different perspective for you because of the

219
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.039
<v Speaker 2>spring you're having. But what are you seeing in this

220
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.519
<v Speaker 2>room that has you excited about what could be this

221
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 2>season for the team?

222
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.159
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, just the way guys came in was I mean,

223
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:44.240
<v Speaker 4>I feel like now it used to be you show

224
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:45.840
<v Speaker 4>up spring training and get ready for the year. Now

225
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.480
<v Speaker 4>everybody shows up spring training ready to go. But just

226
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.519
<v Speaker 4>the arms that we have, like depth and depth of

227
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:53.080
<v Speaker 4>the arms is ridiculous. And then guys came in ready

228
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 4>to play.

229
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.799
<v Speaker 2>That's David Frye, who figures to be someone who can

230
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.519
<v Speaker 2>help this ball club. Maybe around the midway point, as

231
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.279
<v Speaker 2>he has been cleared to take some dry swings in

232
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.039
<v Speaker 2>the cage, he's been doing some receiving work as a

233
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.600
<v Speaker 2>catcher and gradually implementing more and more facets of his

234
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.200
<v Speaker 2>game as that elbow gets stronger. Stephen Kuan is looking

235
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.480
<v Speaker 2>forward to a big start to the season. This will

236
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.759
<v Speaker 2>be his fourth major league season. He's won three Goal

237
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Glove awards as one of the best left fielders defensively

238
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.840
<v Speaker 2>in the game. And last year, what a start he had,

239
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>as he was flirting with the four hundred mark batting

240
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.320
<v Speaker 2>average wise for quite some time in the first half

241
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 2>of the season, tailed off with some injury issues in

242
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.879
<v Speaker 2>the second half, but performed extremely well in the postseason.

243
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 2>And here he is heading into year number four in

244
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:43.559
<v Speaker 2>the major leagues, and he says, man, those first three

245
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.360
<v Speaker 2>have moved awfully fast.

246
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:47.919
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I guess it's both both yes and no. I

247
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:51.120
<v Speaker 7>remember that first spring so vividly. I can't believe it's

248
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:53.039
<v Speaker 7>already been three years. But yeah, like you said, there's

249
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:55.720
<v Speaker 7>been so many things that have happened, got Mary. We've

250
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 7>been the playoffs twice. I mean, what is that three

251
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:00.720
<v Speaker 7>times one sixty two? You know, a lot of games

252
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.120
<v Speaker 7>to play. It's been a blessing to be part of

253
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:05.960
<v Speaker 7>all this. But yeah, it just feels like yesterday we

254
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.120
<v Speaker 7>were talking on the patio and I got that call.

255
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.840
<v Speaker 2>And so along those lines. You look at it now,

256
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:14.639
<v Speaker 2>and as is the case every offseason, there's some changes

257
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:18.200
<v Speaker 2>to the roster. Do you feel like a veteran guy

258
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.440
<v Speaker 2>yet and someone who can take over more of a

259
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:21.480
<v Speaker 2>leadership role too.

260
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.799
<v Speaker 7>I don't know about veteran, but you know, a little

261
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.559
<v Speaker 7>more comfortable with kind of know anybody's name now, knowing

262
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.759
<v Speaker 7>where to go the schedules. Yeah, it definitely is less

263
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:34.080
<v Speaker 7>chaotic than my first year. But I know something about

264
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.480
<v Speaker 7>coming into spring and everything just feels new and exciting.

265
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:37.320
<v Speaker 7>So I'm excited.

266
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.840
<v Speaker 2>How about your game? Last year, you made some adjustments

267
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:42.679
<v Speaker 2>to your approach and it led to a career best

268
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.279
<v Speaker 2>in home runs and you still maintained your average. What

269
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.000
<v Speaker 2>did you take away from that at the end of

270
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.320
<v Speaker 2>the season as you prepare for this season.

271
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, just being able to, you know, attack my a pitch,

272
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.799
<v Speaker 7>want the ball, middle, middle end. I think before I've

273
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.679
<v Speaker 7>been scared to kind of let it go because my

274
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.960
<v Speaker 7>game was singles the other way, working account kind of

275
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:03.919
<v Speaker 7>giving myself the grace to go out and get it

276
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:06.159
<v Speaker 7>and see what happens with with home runs. I think

277
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:08.639
<v Speaker 7>that builds up all my confidence. I think it builds

278
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 7>the kind of import against pictures too, where they can't

279
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.279
<v Speaker 7>just attack the zone, get ahead, and then I have

280
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 7>to fight with two. It changed the game a little bit,

281
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.679
<v Speaker 7>which just I'm excited for. But the game's always evolving

282
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:19.039
<v Speaker 7>as well.

283
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Kwan joining us, We love to talk hitting. It's fun.

284
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Defense such a big part of your game, a goal

285
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:30.960
<v Speaker 2>glove multiple How much effort and time do you need

286
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>to put into that, especially this time of year to

287
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:34.600
<v Speaker 2>make sure you're ready to go?

288
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, definitely a ton of work, especially being out in

289
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.720
<v Speaker 7>Chicago where it's cold outside you can't get too many

290
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:42.279
<v Speaker 7>live reads. But JT keeps us on top of that,

291
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:44.080
<v Speaker 7>especially when we get to spring. We hit the ground

292
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:45.879
<v Speaker 7>running with all that, even if we can't, you know,

293
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.480
<v Speaker 7>lengthen it out just to keep our legs safe. We're

294
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:54.000
<v Speaker 7>doing glove work, really small, short, intentional work that works

295
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 7>the gloves. Yeah, it takes a whole village to achieve

296
00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:59.159
<v Speaker 7>those kinds of things. So I'm grateful for JT.

297
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>And now, wait a minte January in Chicago, you're not

298
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.519
<v Speaker 2>going down to the lakefront and taking flyballs?

299
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:03.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

300
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.120
<v Speaker 7>I might be able to walk on the lakefront at

301
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.399
<v Speaker 7>that time and get those flyballs.

302
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Hey, your off season, though, you had some great things

303
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 2>happen in your life. Tell us about it.

304
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:13.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, got married this offseason, had a really small little

305
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.039
<v Speaker 7>event which was really cool. I was able to make

306
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.080
<v Speaker 7>it about us, which I was super happy about. So, yeah,

307
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:19.360
<v Speaker 7>best off season so far.

308
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:21.919
<v Speaker 2>Change your outlook coming into too spring training in a

309
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 2>new season.

310
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.519
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah, it's just crazy to wrap

311
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.480
<v Speaker 7>my head around. But having her here, understanding what she's

312
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:32.879
<v Speaker 7>been able to do for my career as well, it

313
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:34.799
<v Speaker 7>just makes it that much more serious. So I'm really

314
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:35.399
<v Speaker 7>excited for that.

315
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 2>And you walk into this clubhouse and not too deep

316
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.799
<v Speaker 2>in the spring training yet, but it just seems like

317
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 2>there's that good vibe again, which has been such a

318
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:46.679
<v Speaker 2>great characteristic of this team. What are you seeing early

319
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.799
<v Speaker 2>on in spring training that has you excited about what

320
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:49.639
<v Speaker 2>could be again?

321
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:53.440
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, just the team's focus I think right now, had

322
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.480
<v Speaker 7>a ton of really good meetings, addressing the elephant in

323
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.720
<v Speaker 7>the room I think has been really important. Twenty two

324
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.799
<v Speaker 7>we had a really great year. Twenty three we didn't

325
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:02.720
<v Speaker 7>have the year that we wanted, and I think that

326
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 7>could have been choked up to complacency or you know,

327
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.200
<v Speaker 7>a bunch of different things. So I think we as

328
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.159
<v Speaker 7>a staff talked about, you know, we don't want to

329
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:10.840
<v Speaker 7>have that happen again. We had a great twenty four,

330
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:12.559
<v Speaker 7>but you know, twenty five we have to build off that.

331
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.720
<v Speaker 7>We can't get comfortable, We can't assume that things are

332
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:16.519
<v Speaker 7>going to be like that. We have to go out

333
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:18.799
<v Speaker 7>and get what we earned. And you know, in twenty

334
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:20.440
<v Speaker 7>three there was a target on our back a little bit,

335
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:23.039
<v Speaker 7>and I think maybe we didn't live up to that.

336
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.480
<v Speaker 7>This year, we understand we're not going to surprise as

337
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 7>many people before making the alcs last year, so we

338
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:32.919
<v Speaker 7>got to come out really confident, really strong, and then

339
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:34.519
<v Speaker 7>you know, take it by the horns.

340
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:39.120
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting you mentioned that you worked hard going into

341
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.879
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three, but is there just that something extra

342
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.600
<v Speaker 2>that you need to do to really be successful in

343
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:49.320
<v Speaker 2>this game? And if you miss that, there's that fine line.

344
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:53.120
<v Speaker 7>I'd like to think, so almost having that like desperation

345
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 7>anxiety almost of like you know, we have to get better,

346
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.279
<v Speaker 7>we need to get better. If not, you know, there's

347
00:16:58.279 --> 00:16:59.759
<v Speaker 7>gonna be some big changes around here, and you don't

348
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.919
<v Speaker 7>want to be there when when changes are made, it's

349
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:04.839
<v Speaker 7>a lot easier. When you have a successful year, you know,

350
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:06.519
<v Speaker 7>you feel a little more comfy, and then in that

351
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.759
<v Speaker 7>complacency comes you don't work just as hard. I think

352
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:12.279
<v Speaker 7>we're trying to erase that, make sure we have that

353
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:15.240
<v Speaker 7>kind of edge, still trying to achieve that. And Voter

354
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.359
<v Speaker 7>and all of them such a great job implementing that. But

355
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.960
<v Speaker 7>I think that can be a factor, especially for young

356
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:22.880
<v Speaker 7>teams going in.

357
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:25.359
<v Speaker 2>And what did you see in Steven Vote last year

358
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:28.480
<v Speaker 2>that that allowed this team to continue on a great

359
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.119
<v Speaker 2>path that had been set before him.

360
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

361
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:32.920
<v Speaker 7>Just trusting the players I think was super important. He

362
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.000
<v Speaker 7>didn't come in and, you know, puff his chest and

363
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 7>say I'm the manager, you have to listen to me.

364
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.279
<v Speaker 7>He developed so much trust early on camaraderie, and it

365
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.680
<v Speaker 7>was genuine too. It wasn't this you know, fake kind

366
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.519
<v Speaker 7>of thing where he had to impress a lot of people.

367
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.559
<v Speaker 7>He was just Stephen Vote, And at least for me,

368
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:50.079
<v Speaker 7>I grew up watching him play with the A's, so

369
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:52.640
<v Speaker 7>you know, I was already starstruck. But he seemed to

370
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.759
<v Speaker 7>get everybody else's attention and get everybody on board. Super quickly,

371
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:58.240
<v Speaker 7>and I think that that shows just him as a person,

372
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:00.880
<v Speaker 7>him as a manager, so excited for your two for

373
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:01.440
<v Speaker 7>all of us.

374
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:04.920
<v Speaker 2>That is Stephen Kwan looking forward to a big season

375
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.240
<v Speaker 2>here in twenty twenty five. Stay with us when we

376
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:10.759
<v Speaker 2>come back. We'll hear from catcher bow Naylor. That's next

377
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.359
<v Speaker 2>on the Cleveland Clinic Guardians Radio Network.

378
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:54.839
<v Speaker 1>Now the one pitch swing in a high drive deep

379
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:59.039
<v Speaker 1>right field. This bull's got a chance. Go on, bow

387
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.200
<v Speaker 1>better throw than bon Naylor just made.

388
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Here's the one two pitch.

389

391
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Kim Rosanow's back with you from Goodyear, Arizona and Guardian

392
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:47.680
<v Speaker 2>spring training. The Guardian's getting ready to take on the

393
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City Royals later this afternoon. You can hear that

394
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:54.319
<v Speaker 2>game right here on the Guardians Radio Network, beginning with

395
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.079
<v Speaker 2>a four to zero five first pitch from Surprise Guardians

396
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:00.680
<v Speaker 2>on the road today taking on the Royals and Hamm.

397
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.839
<v Speaker 2>He'll have that first pitch coming your way shortly after

398
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:08.279
<v Speaker 2>for a'clock. Bo Naylor maybe in the lineup today as

399
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.119
<v Speaker 2>he continues what has been an impressive spring. He has

400
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.720
<v Speaker 2>swung the bat well, he has played well defensively as

401
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.400
<v Speaker 2>he continues to work on his game. And that's after

402
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:20.440
<v Speaker 2>a season where he caught more than one hundred games,

403
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.200
<v Speaker 2>his first full season in the Major League from start

404
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.720
<v Speaker 2>to finish, and certainly a learning experience for him both

405
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.960
<v Speaker 2>at the plate and behind the plate. And these are

406
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.519
<v Speaker 2>some of his thoughts on his progression a season ago.

407
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 8>The season definitely, you know, kind of had its toll physically,

408
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:39.960
<v Speaker 8>but I feel like I came out of it feeling

409
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:43.680
<v Speaker 8>really good. You know, I definitely had a good idea

410
00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:45.480
<v Speaker 8>as to what I wanted to work on moving into

411
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:51.000
<v Speaker 8>the offseason physically and mentally, you know, offensively, defensively, all

412
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:54.640
<v Speaker 8>that stuff. So had a clear picture and got on

413
00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:57.799
<v Speaker 8>the same page really well with the team as well,

414
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:00.440
<v Speaker 8>So I think the transition to the off season and

415
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.920
<v Speaker 8>the off season being had now to this point, it's

416
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:05.359
<v Speaker 8>it's been a great time for sure.

417
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:07.839
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of it spent here in the

418
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Phoenix area, not necessarily here at the at the complex,

419
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:14.039
<v Speaker 2>but some of it. I'm sure, how do you approach that,

420
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:17.039
<v Speaker 2>especially offensively? What what did you try and do and

421
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:18.279
<v Speaker 2>who helped you in that regard?

422
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.400
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think the main thing was just you know,

423
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.799
<v Speaker 8>a few things movement wise, and then you know, just

424
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.400
<v Speaker 8>really you know, hammering out some some concrete approaches to

425
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.720
<v Speaker 8>be able to bring into the game and you know,

426
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.720
<v Speaker 8>kind of be able to put put them forth and

427
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.119
<v Speaker 8>just just let everything kind of come together. A lot

428
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:44.759
<v Speaker 8>of work was done, mainly with Grant Fink and Josh Tubbs,

429
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.480
<v Speaker 8>but it was an all hands on deck effort, you know,

430
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.039
<v Speaker 8>kind of again everyone being on the same page and

431
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.759
<v Speaker 8>making themselves available for any conversations that I had wanted

432
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:57.039
<v Speaker 8>or needed or anything.

433
00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:57.200
<v Speaker 2>To be had.

434
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.440
<v Speaker 8>So super grateful for all the resources that we here,

435
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:04.240
<v Speaker 8>being the coaches, you know, them on me to come

436
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:05.799
<v Speaker 8>in and use the cages and stuff.

437
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:09.000
<v Speaker 2>It was. It was awesome and obviously you can't really

438
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:11.480
<v Speaker 2>tell till the regular season begins, but have you noticed

439
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:13.599
<v Speaker 2>things early in the spring that that you worked on

440
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:17.359
<v Speaker 2>that that have made things not easier but allow you

441
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:18.920
<v Speaker 2>to have some success at the play.

442
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:21.880
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, for sure, I think especially you know, not just

443
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.359
<v Speaker 8>in VP, but you know on field, you know, in

444
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:29.039
<v Speaker 8>the lives. You know, now we're transitioning games. But the

445
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:31.960
<v Speaker 8>movements have been consistent, which I'm really happy about. The

446
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:35.119
<v Speaker 8>ball flight's been good, so yeah, I just that's it's

447
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:38.039
<v Speaker 8>a matter of trusting it and just kind of allowing

448
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:38.720
<v Speaker 8>it to come forth.

449
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Major development in the offseason, your brother Josh was traded,

450
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:46.759
<v Speaker 2>and and rarity in baseball where you get to play

451
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:49.720
<v Speaker 2>with your brother on the same team, much less making

452
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:52.720
<v Speaker 2>it to the major leagues at the same time, how

453
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.160
<v Speaker 2>is the reaction there and how how are you in

454
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.079
<v Speaker 2>a place now where you can deal with that. I'm

455
00:22:58.119 --> 00:22:59.000
<v Speaker 2>really happy for him.

456
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:02.880
<v Speaker 8>I know that the Diamondbacks have really got a good one,

457
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:06.200
<v Speaker 8>really good clubhouse presence and someone who who's going to

458
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.799
<v Speaker 8>go out there and play as hard as for that team,

459
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:11.599
<v Speaker 8>those fans and everything that comes with them. So I'm

460
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.200
<v Speaker 8>really happy for him. Definitely gonna cherish all the time

461
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 8>that we had together. To this point. We shared some

462
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:20.000
<v Speaker 8>amazing moments, not just me and him, but you know,

463
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:23.519
<v Speaker 8>all the other guys in that clubhouse and him, you know,

464
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.400
<v Speaker 8>the team overall. There's been some great years that we had,

465
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:29.000
<v Speaker 8>and I think that my mind is in a spot

466
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:31.519
<v Speaker 8>where I'm really grateful for it, and I'm really grateful

467
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:35.559
<v Speaker 8>for the trajectory that his career is headed in and

468
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:38.079
<v Speaker 8>just how everything's kind of been progressing for us all.

469
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.079
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you're in a good place on where

470
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 2>you are in the major leagues now and having been

471
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:46.480
<v Speaker 2>through some of the ups and downs having had him

472
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:49.599
<v Speaker 2>here though when you first broke in. How is he

473
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.160
<v Speaker 2>helpful to you? And maybe more so than than anything

474
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you could have hoped for.

475
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:58.400
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, Yeah, there's there's a lot to be said, for sure,

476
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 8>But I think the biggest thing is just being able

477
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.240
<v Speaker 8>to have him in times where you know, you know,

478
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.599
<v Speaker 8>you kind of need to hear something, you know, any advice,

479
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:10.440
<v Speaker 8>any anything to be able to take that out that

480
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:14.200
<v Speaker 8>will help elevate your game, not just physically but mentally.

481
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:15.799
<v Speaker 6>So.

482
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and and he knows me, He knows me really well,

483
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:21.119
<v Speaker 8>and and I feel like I can definitely get, you know,

484
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.440
<v Speaker 8>on a more personal level to be able to have

485
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:28.519
<v Speaker 8>those conversations that need to be had. So yeah, he uh,

486
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:30.680
<v Speaker 8>he definitely had a great experience. I think one of

487
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:32.839
<v Speaker 8>the big the biggest things I'm thankful for is just

488
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:37.200
<v Speaker 8>how he'd really made the transition from the minor leagues

489
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.640
<v Speaker 8>to the major leagues so easy. He's one of the

490
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:44.359
<v Speaker 8>big parts in you know, this clubhouse being so welcoming,

491
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.599
<v Speaker 8>you know, definitely continue to make it such an amazing environment,

492
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:50.799
<v Speaker 8>and that made it really easy to be able to

493
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:53.119
<v Speaker 8>transition and you know, get comfortable with the guys, to

494
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:55.440
<v Speaker 8>get comfortable with the game and all that. And I'm

495
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:57.440
<v Speaker 8>sure a lot of you know, of of the young

496
00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Speaker 8>guys that had come up while he was here with

497
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.720
<v Speaker 8>would say the same.

498
00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Bo Naylor joining us another mentor for you. And he's

499
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:08.920
<v Speaker 2>back again as Austin Hedges. And look, he's a fun

500
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:11.480
<v Speaker 2>guy to be around. And obviously we see that, but

501
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:13.480
<v Speaker 2>when you get right down to it in terms of

502
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.839
<v Speaker 2>how he helps you defensively, what has he done for

503
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:16.759
<v Speaker 2>your game behind the.

504
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:20.839
<v Speaker 8>Plate, He's He's done a lot. He's super smart, He's

505
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.000
<v Speaker 8>been in this game for a while, has a lot

506
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:25.039
<v Speaker 8>of experience, has a lot of different perspectives on a

507
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:29.319
<v Speaker 8>lot of things, and he has no problem sharing it

<v Speaker 8>required to be a catcher, you know, game calling, receiving

511
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:44.079
<v Speaker 8>all the things that come with being a catcher in

512
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 8>and out of the game. He's he's something that I've

513
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 8>gotten really close with and he's been amazing to me.

514
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:53.240
<v Speaker 8>He's he never shies away from an opportunity to help

515
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.240
<v Speaker 8>me grow, whether that's in being a leader, being someone

516
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:58.839
<v Speaker 8>that this team can kind of look to and for

517
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:02.240
<v Speaker 8>any guidance in any type of boy and that that

518
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:04.880
<v Speaker 8>that That's how I've handled the relationship with him as well.

519
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:09.039
<v Speaker 8>I know I can always go to him, and he's

520
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:13.160
<v Speaker 8>continued to help make this experience a great one for

521
00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:13.559
<v Speaker 8>the team.

522
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:17.039
<v Speaker 2>A wonderful year season ago. Every year is different. It

523
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:19.079
<v Speaker 2>was such a tight knit group last year and so

524
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.480
<v Speaker 2>many of those players are back. What are you seeing

525
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.319
<v Speaker 2>so far in spring training that says, hey, we they

526
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:28.279
<v Speaker 2>can rerun this thing and maybe take it one step further. Yeah,

527
00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:29.200
<v Speaker 2>the the vibes are great.

528
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:32.279
<v Speaker 8>Everyone came into camp really early, which I feel like

529
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:35.519
<v Speaker 8>you don't see too often. The like I said, the

530
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:37.880
<v Speaker 8>vibes have been awesome. Everyone's happy, we're in all we're

531
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:40.119
<v Speaker 8>on a good spot. We're all really excited to see

532
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:43.480
<v Speaker 8>each other, be around all the boys again, uh, and

533
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:45.960
<v Speaker 8>really get back to work. I think we understood kind

534
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:47.920
<v Speaker 8>of where we left off, and you know, heading into

535
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:52.279
<v Speaker 8>spring training, Uh, we we understood what we'd done and

536
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:54.680
<v Speaker 8>like voter says, you know, be appreciative of it, but

537
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:57.319
<v Speaker 8>understand that it's in the past. And you know that's

538
00:26:57.599 --> 00:26:58.960
<v Speaker 8>excuse me, that's.

539
00:26:58.799 --> 00:26:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Our floor now.

540
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:01.400
<v Speaker 8>We we want to build on that. I think we

541
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:03.440
<v Speaker 8>have a really good group to be able to do that,

542
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:05.480
<v Speaker 8>and I think everyone's on the same page with that

543
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 8>idea as well. So at a lot of good vibes,

544
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:10.440
<v Speaker 8>a lot of a lot of games, a lot of

545
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:13.039
<v Speaker 8>card games, a lot of a lot of opportunities to

546
00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:16.119
<v Speaker 8>help one another grow. And you know, when you look around,

547
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:17.920
<v Speaker 8>that's that's nothing short of exciting.

548
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:20.599
<v Speaker 2>And maybe along those lines and we'll close with us.

549
00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Usually the NCP like tournament brings out the pride of

550
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:26.319
<v Speaker 2>guys that went to college where they went. You had

551
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:29.559
<v Speaker 2>a great opportunity about a week ten days ago, the

552
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Four Nations tournament for the NHL team Canada with the win,

553
00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 2>and there's a couple of countrymen in that clubhouse and

554
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Sabrowski and Smith and Naylor and what was that like

555
00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:45.160
<v Speaker 2>the night of the game and then the next day?

556
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:47.839
<v Speaker 8>It was amazing. I mean, first of all, what an

557
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:50.880
<v Speaker 8>amazing game, you know, to say the least, but to

558
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:54.559
<v Speaker 8>be able to have that ending, I can only imagine

559
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 8>what it was like to be in that type of environment.

560
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:58.559
<v Speaker 8>But I know I was screaming, I was going crazy,

561
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:01.440
<v Speaker 8>and I knew that there was gonna be a lot

562
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:03.000
<v Speaker 8>of words coming out of my mouth and in the

563
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:04.559
<v Speaker 8>clubhouse the day following.

564
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:06.720
<v Speaker 2>So it's good.

565
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:09.279
<v Speaker 8>The banter is good to be able to go in

566
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:11.160
<v Speaker 8>there kind of brag about the boys, kind of what

567
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:11.599
<v Speaker 8>they did.

568
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:11.920
<v Speaker 2>It was.

569
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:14.960
<v Speaker 8>It was awesome, And you know, I know Sebrowski let

570
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.079
<v Speaker 8>his voice heard me a little bit for sure, because

571
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:20.960
<v Speaker 8>we know if the situation was reversed, we'd be getting

572
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:24.160
<v Speaker 8>the brunto all of that. But yeah, it's all in

573
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:27.480
<v Speaker 8>good fun. But for sure a special win, special moment,

574
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:30.079
<v Speaker 8>and yeah, what a special game.

575
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:32.599
<v Speaker 2>What about the preliminary game with all the fisticuffs in

576
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:34.079
<v Speaker 2>the first nine seconds.

577
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, that was that was definitely a special one

578
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.720
<v Speaker 8>for sure, but I think it made the final game

579
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:42.799
<v Speaker 8>that much more exciting. You know, a lot of anticipation,

580
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:47.359
<v Speaker 8>you know, a lot of high emotions. So yeah, just

581
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:50.920
<v Speaker 8>another thing that kind of helped the last one make

582
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:51.960
<v Speaker 8>it that much more special.

583
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, thanks for the time, enjoy the spring, Thank you

584
00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:58.799
<v Speaker 2>very much. It's Guardians catcher Bo Naylor and Tandems with

585
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Austin Hetches to give the Guardians a really good mix

586
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:04.480
<v Speaker 2>of a good young catcher is going to play a

587
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:07.519
<v Speaker 2>lot and backed up by one of the best veteran

588
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:10.400
<v Speaker 2>catchers in the game and certainly a great teacher. As

589
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:13.119
<v Speaker 2>we heard from Bow, Austin Hedges will help him along

590
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:17.279
<v Speaker 2>and become even better defensively as the Guardian's head end

591
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:19.519
<v Speaker 2>of the season. Stay with us when we come back.

592
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll visit with Dan Cohen. He helps out with Guardian

593
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:24.960
<v Speaker 2>summer camps and he'll fill us in on some of

594
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:28.759
<v Speaker 2>the great options for youngsters out there when we come

595
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:31.640
<v Speaker 2>back after this time out on the Cleveland Clant Guardians

596
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Radio Network and now the two swung on.

597
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Hit a ton to right down the line. It goes

598
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:46.160
<v Speaker 1>if it's fair, it's way out of here, and it

599
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:50.400
<v Speaker 1>is fair and a home run for Boone Naylor. Now

600
00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:51.279
<v Speaker 1>the one two to bow.

601
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:53.279
<v Speaker 2>Naylor swung on hit a.

602
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:54.599
<v Speaker 1>Ton deep right field.

603
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.720
<v Speaker 2>There she goes go on.

604
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:01.480
<v Speaker 1>To the party deck. That was more of a line

605
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:05.160
<v Speaker 1>drive home run. He hung the change up bone. Nailor

606
00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:09.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't fooled, and he smashes his second home run in

607
00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:13.839
<v Speaker 1>two innings, his first two home runs of the spring.

608
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Boone Nailor four, Arizona. Nothing here in the third.

609
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:28.359
<v Speaker 9>When you switch and save with Progressive, you could use

610
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:31.279
<v Speaker 9>that money towards scoring court side seats for your favorite team.

611
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:33.799
<v Speaker 9>Progressive cannot guarantee that you can score court side seats.

612
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:35.720
<v Speaker 9>Drivers who switch and save with Progressive good save one

613
00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:38.119
<v Speaker 9>hundreds on average, But court side seats can be astronomical.

614
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:39.720
<v Speaker 9>Maybe if your team plays in a smaller market, you

615
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:41.759
<v Speaker 9>could swing it. Even Still, it's unlikely. Maybe fourth throw

616
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:44.160
<v Speaker 9>which are still incredible seats that you'll enjoy greatly. Savings

617
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:47.000
<v Speaker 9>possible court side long shot, switch and see if you

618
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:50.200
<v Speaker 9>could save at Progressive dot Com. Progressive Kensley Insurance and

619
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:52.519
<v Speaker 9>affiliates not available in all states. Progressive cannot guarantee that

620
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:53.839
<v Speaker 9>someone really tall will not sit in front of you

621

<v Speaker 5>a player for a week.

663
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:55.680
<v Speaker 2>And when you talk about the learning situation, the Guardians

664
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:58.880
<v Speaker 2>obviously great at player development for their own players. What

665
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:01.160
<v Speaker 2>are some of the things that you try and focus

666
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:03.720
<v Speaker 2>on with the kids, especially, you know, some of them

667
00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:06.920
<v Speaker 2>are at that young end of the spectrum of six

668
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.760
<v Speaker 2>years old and maybe a little bit older, but just

669
00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:10.599
<v Speaker 2>learning the game.

670
00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:13.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so we try to create kind of good habits

671
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:17.719
<v Speaker 5>and whatever we're doing, So we try to prepare our

672
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:20.639
<v Speaker 5>bodies and minds to like kind of learn every day.

673
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:23.920
<v Speaker 5>So good good routines in terms of kind of like

674
00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:27.480
<v Speaker 5>stretching learning the fundamentals of throwing, fielding, and hitting, and

675
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:30.239
<v Speaker 5>just breaking skills down kind of earlier in the week

676
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:34.079
<v Speaker 5>into like really digestible parts that kind of for deep practice,

677
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:36.920
<v Speaker 5>and then throughout the week kind of challenging those skills,

678
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.079
<v Speaker 5>building on and then towards the end of the week

679
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:41.199
<v Speaker 5>having like I said, some of those competitions and some

680
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:43.639
<v Speaker 5>scrimmagists that kind of test what we've learned. And a

681
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:46.039
<v Speaker 5>lot of kids talk about kind of going into camp

682
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:48.280
<v Speaker 5>in the morning learning something and putting it right into

683
00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:50.880
<v Speaker 5>play that night if they have a game or practice

684
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:52.519
<v Speaker 5>and that's a really fun part of things.

685
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.960
<v Speaker 2>And I know we were talking earlier, a lot of

686
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:59.760
<v Speaker 2>fans and parents have jumped on board already for this summer.

687
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:04.119
<v Speaker 2>How has the growth gone of the programs, especially with

688
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:06.440
<v Speaker 2>more camps available, it seems this summer.

689
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so this is our third year since COVID. The

690
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.760
<v Speaker 5>first year, I think we had seven weeks of camp,

691
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:14.559
<v Speaker 5>so seven or eight camps. Last year, I think we

692
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:16.920
<v Speaker 5>had twelve or thirteen. I think this year, I think

693
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:19.119
<v Speaker 5>we're like I said, fifteen to seventeen camps. So we've

694
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.480
<v Speaker 5>gotten more kind of on an upward trend every year

695
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:26.320
<v Speaker 5>with the team doing well last year. Success always on

696
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:28.960
<v Speaker 5>the field, always breed success kind of away from the field.

697
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.639
<v Speaker 5>So there's a lot of excitement about camps. And I

698
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:34.119
<v Speaker 5>just know from like our reunion day last year we

699
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:35.880
<v Speaker 5>had a parade on the field. Just seeing the excitement

700
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:38.360
<v Speaker 5>of kind of kids seeing each other after like kind

701
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:40.880
<v Speaker 5>of a few weeks off was pretty cool. Just the

702
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:43.920
<v Speaker 5>camaraderie that's being built. So a lot of good culture to.

703
00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Be around, all right, So the good stuff for parents,
