find him on YouTube, Lance Braz, also player development analyst for the Marquis Network,

and a return to the Baseball's and Boring podcast because Lance, you were the straw that stirred

the drink when it came to the conversation of the guys last year.

Shoda Imanaga and Yamamoto you you were the guy who educated us in what we were about to see

so thank you for that thank you for all that you do thank you for all that you do and it's good to

see that's a long introduction but it's good it's great to see you rob how you, it's would be fun. The MPB guys coming over always create a lot of interest,

So it's cool when you get some access to the data and can see what they're actually doing.

You know, what's interesting is I was talking to last week,

we did a podcast with Gailen Carr, play a personnel guy for the Dodgers.

And we were reflecting on when he was with the Red Sox when Matsuzaka came over.

And compared to, obviously, they were in the middle of the Yamamoto stuff last year and how

different it was.

It was like the mystery of Daiske Matsuzaka compared to the opportunity to have

breakdowns like you gave of Yamamoto and Mnaga and these guys.

It's so incredible, right?

I mean, the advancement's crazy.

You know, you can learn a lot about a pitcher just by looking at, like, individual data

et cetera, to, like, fully actualize that guy's potential.

But, I mean, we've come so, so far in terms of that stuff.
