Toby Altizer here at National's Park with Dylan Cruz.

How would you say your first couple of weeks in the Biggs have been?

Oh, they've been great. having a lot of fun here. I mean it's a dream come true to be here so

definitely soaking in every moment and learning a lot so it's been fun. What's the biggest adjustment been for you?

Really just swinging a strike taking ball. fun. What's the biggest adjustment been for you? Um, really just swing out strikes, taking balls really, I mean, these these pitches are really good and if you chase and get out of the zone, they, you know, they tend to capitalize off of it. So just command in the zone and swing at strikes. So Ken Rosenthal wrote a piece earlier in the year talking about the gap from AAA to the

major leads and saying that it's been probably bigger this year than it's ever been in terms of the

pitching.

Do you feel like AAA prepared you for this or they're, you know, just a huge jump that maybe you weren't

prepared for?

Yeah, definitely, all the levels definitely prepared me for this.

I mean, the big leagues are the big leagues, you know,

they're the best of the best for a reason and it's hard to match what you got here

in the big leagues, but it definitely prepared me for sure and

all the coaches and every level it definitely helps me get to where I am today.

So you're playing a lot of right fields and that's something that you played you

field now they've kind of tried you out and right and how comfortable

are you over there and would you want to move to center field someday?
