| 0:00.0 | Hey! Hello and welcome to Talking Yanks presented by Draft Kings. We got another player profile |
| 0:24.1 | and projection and we are doing the King Draftum, my King. Michael King, friend of the program. |
| 0:36.7 | One of our favorite interviews we did, real nice guy. Sister sings his walk-up music, |
| 0:42.2 | made his debut in 2019. Pitched a lot last year. Jake, you got any bullet points? |
| 0:49.9 | Big fan of his sister, check out the Instagram, she kills it, she goes live all the time. |
| 0:56.7 | She's all over that, she's like always live. Singing? I think she's interacting with fans, |
| 1:02.4 | I think she's a big interactor, so I appreciate that. My King is our friend. I will not say a bad word |
| 1:10.3 | about him, he's listening to this right now. He's got a nasty, nasty two-seamer. Holy Toledo, |
| 1:21.8 | Jim, you see that thing move? I seen it. Yeah, I seen it. Yeah, I seen it. |
| 1:27.5 | Third, 59% of the time last year. Yeah, likes it. |
| 1:32.3 | Well, two-seam go curveball 20% of the time, then he's got to change up. He mixed in a couple four |
| 1:38.2 | seamers last year, 29, none your business, don't even worry about it. |
| 1:42.6 | Interesting thing about my King is last year he sat 93 miles per hour in his first spring day. |
| 1:49.1 | He's probably pitched again since we recorded this and we'll see if he dials it down, but he hit 97. |
| 1:57.5 | Yeah, which was crazy because his curve balls 80 miles per hour last year, his change up was 84. |
| 2:08.4 | You go 97 to 80. You go 90. Say you could tone that down. That was like first day, ramped up, |
| 2:14.4 | excited. Towns that down to 95. Then the curve balls 80, the change ups 80, 84. That's pretty nice. |
| 2:23.2 | Yeah, it's, my King has a nice festival. Put that on a shirt, maybe. It's going to be interesting |
| 2:30.8 | how the rest of the stuff develops around it. There were some numbers last year. I think the first |
| 2:35.6 | time through the order, he was really good and then he got wild the second time and that probably |
| 2:40.1 | has a direct correlation with pitch mix and being young and learning how to pitch. All of it goes |
| 2:44.2 | into the pot. If you're fully not familiar with my King, he is 25 years old, 26 years old, |
