The last week has been the first time in a long time that I’ve reported to Spring Training for multiple days in a row. I stepped away in 2019, and while I’ve been back for one or two days, I’ve never really recaptured what it used to feel like.
This week, I had two solo interviews. I talked with Paul Skenes for about ten minutes about the adjustment to the pro schedule, his spring workload, and the pitches he’s throwing. I talked with John Baker for half an hour about maybe 15 players in the system, for stories I’m working on over the next few weeks.
