What is happening? Welcome to another episode of The Craft. My name is Nick Pollack of Pitcherlist.

And today I had to bring back, you know, Sarah's the finish or two-partners.

It's only reason why he's here. It's going to be gone.

And we're going to talk about the National League, spring storylines. Now, last week we talked about the AL, and I tried to speed run it to get to the NL, and I touched on it a bit, and you know, it was like, stop.

We'll just continue next time, Nick. So here we are. And we are going to jump into the NL East. But before I even do that, I have to just ask one question, you know, how impressed were

you by Grayson Rodriguez yesterday?

He got on a mound.

That's exactly how I'm impressed.

I didn't expect to see him, 96, 97.

Oh, man.

Yeah, that's not bad.

And the one thing that I would hesitate, because I've got a, um, 97. Oh, man. Yeah, that's not bad.

And the one thing that I would hesitate because I've got a spring train stuff numbers that I might be periodically referencing.

And he had a 111 stuff plus.

So that was good.

The problem is the stuff plus has always been great on him.

And it's more about him putting together the pitches and his location was 60. You know, his locations and how he puts together the pitches is how he

gets, but you're right. Just getting on the, getting on the bump. Yeah. That's all I needed to do.

Just pitch. I mean, it is interesting. I think it's not as good of a

four-seamer as I thought it was. I mean, at least that wasn't to me. Like, it's more, I,

I like to think that I can see pitch moving plots like I'm cipher from the Matrix now.

You know, it took me a while to get there. But I eventually got there. And I, I see I'm like, oh, this is kind of dead zony, um, with this four steamer. Um, so the velocity obviously is a major factor with it. He is generally a lower attack angle to, a good, good extension, I believe from what I remember. Um, but it's really more about like the, the secondary stuff really coming together, which is always what we've wanted from Grayson to take the next step. So look, he's on the mound. To me, it's worthy of Grayson being drafted at this point. You just kind of see where this goes. But I had to get your take with that. It's not going to be a focus of today, though. We're going to talk about all these NL teams. So I'm going to go straight from the, straight into the NL East and starting with
