Scott, how are we feeling this morning? Oh, never better. Never better. The kids aren't in the room

with me for the first time in like 80 million hours. So it's never been this quiet around me,

I think ever. So I'm in the zone right now. Yeah, I feel that like Saturday, for me,

Saturday afternoon, for some of us Saturday morning, January 31st, it's amazing.

The house is empty for me.

I have, my wife took the kids to a couple of different activities.

She's taking them for pizza for lunch.

So I've got hopefully an hour of child-free, quiet activity to talk baseball. And that's what we're here for.

PitchCon 2026. Just a reminder, we're here because we love baseball. We're here because we love

fantasy baseball. The pitcher list community is amazing. And the cause we're raising money for is

amazing too. We're fighting against a myotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS, Lugarrix disease.

As a reminder, you can make a monetary contribution to the event by visiting the URL below.

100% of every contribution will go to ALS1, an organization that unites ALS, researchers, clinicians, and care providers to support those affected by ALS and find a solution

for the future. And for those listening on the podcast, that's pitcherlist.com slash pitchcon to make a

hitters on pitcher list. Scott always puts out his top hitters list so far. We've got his

edition for the preseason. Scott, very excited for that update. Talk about what's, you know, what it is and what's new for those who have been around on this year's hitter list. Yeah, for sure. So the first thing we do in the spring is the top 300. So I will rank 300 hitters. I might mention a couple others in that article as well. Early next week is when it should be out. It might be more like mid.

Next week just depends. I've still got quite a bit of writing and research to do on some of the last

couple guys on there. But really the biggest thing with this is, you know, you're doing these

ranks. And what I do with the top of the term is I give a blurb on every

single player, right? Everybody get, you know, some of the guys towards the end will only get a sentence or two because that's all there is to say. But I'm giving as much as I can on every single player because I know that that's when you go to the rankings, it's not just seeing the list. it's why, right? So I don't always say exactly why they're in this exact spot, but I'm giving at least some insight into what I think about when I thought about when I ranked this player, what I think about, you know, if someone were to ask me about the player, it's kind of like the first thing I'd want to tell them.
