00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>A young man that really impressed in his first outing

2
00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>this spring. If you're from southern California or the South

3
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:07.919
<v Speaker 1>Bay you know all about him. He's a legend in

4
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.839
<v Speaker 1>palace vertice, and his dunking ability is even greater. That

5
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>is the one and only Nick Frosso. Nick, thanks a

6
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 1>lot for the time.

7
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thank you, thanks for having me.

8
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>I got a text immediately when you came into the

9
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.839
<v Speaker 1>game from the Papadakas family that coached you up in

10
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:26.839
<v Speaker 1>little league basketball. What's it like to have a community

11
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:27.879
<v Speaker 1>that's so proud of you?

12
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.560
<v Speaker 2>It's awesome obviously, like being from LA Area and playing

13
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>on this team, Like everyone from hometown is a fan,

14
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>so a lot of support getting out there on Saturday,

15
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:40.479
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, it felt good for sure.

16
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>You've obviously gone through your adversity right with the labrums

17
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>and your hip and your shoulder. What's it like to

18
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>come to big league camp and be a normal pitcher.

19
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, it's just amazing just to be healthy again.

20
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm just super grateful that everyone here just got me

21
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 2>back to where I was and I'm just happy to

22
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 2>be pitching again.

23
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like the opportunit tunity to make your

24
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>major league debut is getting closer.

25
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of course, like every day it gets at gets

26
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>a little closer. But still gotta take care of business

27
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 2>here and just stay consistent and yeah, hopefully when they'll

28
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>get up.

29
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 1>There, if they need you to be a relief pitcher, right,

30
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>this rotation's pretty stacked to break in if you're most

31
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 1>needed in the bullpen. Do you feel like you have

32
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>that type of mentality to be able to do that.

33
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'll do I'll do whatever. I mean I did.

34
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I probably threw more out of the bullpen in college anyway,

35
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 2>So I did a little bit of both, kind of

36
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 2>fifty to fifty and yeah, I'm happy to do whatever. Lmu,

37
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Lion go Lions baby. Yes, sir.

38
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>When you were growing up in Palace Verdues, were you

39
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>a Dodger fan growing up?

40
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

41
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 1>Who was your favorite picture?

42
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Probably twenty two over there growing up. I mean, there's

43
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of guys I was very young. Obviously I

44
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>love Ganya because he threw gas and like, I mean, yeah,

45
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 2>it's cool for sure.

46
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>That was an incredible time record setting time eighty one

47
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>consecutive sabs for Eric Gania game over from So that's insane.

48
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 2>Eighty one. I don't think I knew that stuff. That's absurd. Yeah, nasty.

49
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and Kershaw was here for the first couple of

50
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 1>days of camp, but he'll be back. Just for that

51
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>period of time that he was here, did you just

52
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>stare at him from across the locker room like a creeper?

53
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, That's exactly what I was doing, Just kept my

54
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 2>eyes on him. Nah g Yeah, great guy said Hi,

55
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>hopefully he's back soon. Converse a little more.

56
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Nick Frosso is our guest. I just love

57
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 1>the energy on this end of the clubhouse. I was

58
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>telling Alex Freeland the other day, it seems like you

59
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 1>guys really have a tight bond that you don't really see.

60
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 1>It feels like when the time comes and you guys

61
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 1>all get your opportunity at the major league level, the

62
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 1>bond that you created in the minor leagues will carry forward.

63
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Absolutely. I mean a lot of us have been

64
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>playing together for a while now, been in a bunch

65
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 2>of different clubhouses together from kind of throughout all the levels,

66
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 2>so we've gotten to know each other pretty well. And yeah,

67
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 2>it's definitely a fun group.

68
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Who was your best friend on this on this locker wall?

69
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Man, I don't know. I don't know if I got one.

70
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, these are all great guys, they're all super

71
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>fun and funny.

72
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>So do you stick with pictures?

73
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 2>No? No, I mean not really. I mean at the field,

74
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>probably because I'm doing stuff with them all day. I

75
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 2>work on on the same program, but outside the field. Whatever, anyone, Yeah,
