morning mike mick morning guys how are you doing great so not a great

offensive night for you guys hers pitched okay but you just couldn't get any offense going.

I wanted to ask you about one player in particular.

Your center fielder, Jacob Young, amazing defensive player, I just looked it up.

He's leading the Major League Baseball and runs prevented.

He's tied for the lead and outs above average.

Is there like a threshold number that you guys think like you need this amount of offense to keep him as a center fielder in the future

He's proven to me that he's major league worthy and that he

you know there's a there's a place on this team for him and I

think that his offense has improved over the course of this season.

He's got to, I think, see more pitches, take more walks,

get more bun hits. He leads the league and, and bunt hits, I think, with eight and infield hits I think with eight and in field hits.

He's an elite runner and elite defender and elite base runner-based

or base Steelers.

So he's, you know, he possesses a lot of skills that winning ball clubs employed so he's he's turned

himself into a real asset for us and a guy that is going to be part of the future.
