Dodgers 2024 Seoul Series Game 2 interview
I do not own this.
well Ming this atmosphere the
electricity everything going on here how
would you just describe what it's been
like playing here in South Korea uh it's
hard to kind of explain you know seeing
the culture and you know you kind of see
it on TV and whatnot but actually being
a part of it is super cool and you see
how they are during the games it's kind
of like a winter ball game a little bit
but uh you know it's it's really neat
the other day you were teasing with me
because so they're using the kbo
baseball which is a little bit smaller
the seams are a little bit higher a
little bit softer do you see any
differences when it's coming at you I
don't think so um not makes sense why I
haven't gotten a hit I didn't know the
ball is smaller and all no but uh no I
can't tell the difference but feeling it
you can definitely feel the difference
how much are you looking forward just
just starting the season here getting
right meaningful games going and playing
the Padre's here in South gr really just
the meaningful games you know we uh we
play and it seems like we've been in
spring for so long but we really haven't
um but you know it's it's always fun
competing and and when the real when the
lights turn on I think uh that's when
everything kind of changes subtly and
that's uh that's when I really enjoy it
so Joe and or were earlier talking about
just when you warm up you're warming up
with the football and just first of all
your spiral how it's fantastic but what
led to that how did you get started with
doing that and what is that how does
that benefit you um really just going
from The Outfield to the infield I I
feel
like I feel like um it just shortens my
arm action you know my AR and Out Feel
your arm is a little longer and so uh
going throwing the football every day is
just building some shoulder strength and
shortening the arm so where uh when I
can make my throws from short I don't
have to think about it you think we need
to get you like a Handler who can make
the catches for you then pass you the
ball like a quarterback oral oral
mentioned that so since oral men
mentioned it oral I'm going to make sure
I go on there on Nike website get get me
some gloves
