00:00How do you describe your winter?
00:01It's been good.
00:02It's been really good.
00:03I'm preparing to play.
00:04I'm getting ready for spring training.
00:05I'm getting ready to get the pitches on track.
00:06I'm just going out there ready to compete.
00:07There's been some significant current events that may impact you, obviously, with Robinson
00:08coming aboard.
00:09What is your feeling on that?
00:10It's good.
00:11I'm glad he's back.
00:12Like I said, I'm just ready to get to spring training and compete.
00:13Are you concerned that you might not be where you want to be?
00:14No.
00:15No.
00:16No.
00:17No.
00:18No.
00:19No.
00:20No.
00:21No.
00:22No.
00:23No.
00:24No.
00:25No.
00:26No.
00:28What are you worried about?
00:29Are you worried that you might not be where you want to be on opening day?
00:33Um.
00:34I have no control over that.
00:36I don't make those decisions.
00:39Like I said, I'm just ready to go to spring training and compete.
00:50What do you think when you said you made a lot of changes to your swing?
00:54What are we talking about?
00:54Are you left handed now?
00:55I'm actually sitting on top of my head.
00:56Just some plate discipline type stuff, swing playing stuff, rhythm stuff.
01:03Just kind of getting the base down, working with Louie this whole offseason has helped
01:06a ton.
01:07Him having his eyes on me the whole time has been great.
01:10I feel like every day I've gotten better.
01:13Were you doing any of that, like in the midst of August on?
01:19No, yeah.
01:20After your first couple weeks.
01:21Yeah, I definitely made those adjustments up there, but we're just hard to do.
01:26When you're in the big leagues and you're trying to make adjustments day by day, that's
01:29pretty tough to do, but I credit the coaches for that.
01:32Krabby, Louie, Bergey, you know, kind of diving in.
01:36And I think me having an open mind to be like, hey, you know what, it's time to make a change
01:42or it's time to get better at this.
01:44I was totally okay with it.
01:46So, you know Robinson, right?
01:48Yeah.
01:49How much did he help you in the past before you went to Houston?
01:55He helped me a little bit.
01:57I think the last time, I think Lucro was here, right?
02:01I'm not too sure of the timeline of that, but I think he was in the, you know, him and
02:06Lucro were going back and forth and starting to roll it.
02:09But yeah, he helped me quite a bit.
02:10I think he was more focused on, you know, getting ready for his season.
02:14I mean, every time I asked him questions, you know, he was like, hey, yeah, like try
02:18this, do this.
02:19He helped me a little bit.
02:21So what do you take away from your first major league season?
02:24I mean, you did pretty doggone good, especially like Jeff says, after you kind of got settled
02:28in.
02:29Yeah.
02:30You know, I think I take it as in I had an opportunity for two months to show the world
02:36who I was.
02:39And I took it, I felt like I, the takeaway from it was, you know, it gave me confidence
02:46to believe in myself, believe that I belong there.
02:50And I think it just, it's just going to carry me to the next season.
02:55With the overhaul of the rotation, with Kluber and Gibson and Lyles, how comfortable are
03:00you with the, especially the upgraded rotation going into the season?
03:04I think I'm going to be pretty familiar with them.
03:07A lot of people don't know is that I've been watching film on them.
03:10So I know, contacted some of their catchers, specifically Inferno Perez, kind of see what
03:16he has on Kluber.
03:18But watching film, kind of getting to know them, getting to know their tendencies, what
03:21they like to do in certain counts, and seeing things that they like to do, basically.
03:27So what it sounds like to me is, you're going about it like you're going to be in
03:31Arlington on opening day.
03:33I'm just going to go about it and be ready for an opportunity once it rises.
03:39Hopefully I can answer that call.
03:41What do you think you need to show them this spring?
03:45That's a tough question.
03:47I think that I'm ready to play.
03:50I'm ready to go.
03:52I think I will be.
