Austin what was uh that home run let's take us through that um yeah um got a couple pitches uh in off the plate so I just kind of was looking inside there and um was able to put a good swing on it as you look back has there been a moment where where you've increased your confidence where the offensive game really has clicked or has it just been kind of the same all season given you hit you hit it hard you hit a lot of tough outs tough luck early in the year yeah I think I think it's easier to get more confidence when you're having results um so I think it's just gradually as the season gone on more and more um but I think from the beginning of the year I was confident in my ability so how much confidence do you have hitting behind stto and judge that's not necessarily an easy thing to do for a rookie like yourself yeah it's a lot of fun um get to watch two of the best in the game um go to work right in front of me um and usually get to see a lot of pitches before I go up there so um you know it's a lot of fun um and it's a good challenge for me um and uh yeah having a lot of fun with it how would you describe the emotion you felt when you saw that ball fly over the W uh you look pretty jacked up yeah I was jacked um I didn't yeah I was blocked out um I was pissed off about how the prior at bats and game had gone and so it was just like kind of a big release of emotion then you start thinking about how good this offense can be when when everyone's closing yeah I think I think from the beginning of the year we've known what we're capable of it's just going out there and doing it every night um and baseball is an up and down game so um you're going to have your nights where you're not clicking and you're going to have your nights where you are so um it's going to take all 13 or 14 of us on the on the offensive side to to go out there and win every day um and it could be one guy at a at a random time so um having the players that we have um I think we're all really confident in our ability seemed like you've been more consistent at the plate lately we saw the home run tonight a little bit more power than than we've seen what's been clicking for you just feeling better staying Within Myself staying uh a little bit more balanced and you know just uh having my abats again you know not trying to force the outcome and you know go up there first pitch and just get a get a knock or so we're actually you know working the working the count and seeing pitches Jason Dominguez is here how do you how do you see this playing out as the season goes down um he was going to come up here he's going to play he's going to you know help this team win and you know whatever that means that means right if I lose a little bit of playing time I lose a little bit of playing time um you know at the end of the day I want to win and you know only thing that matters is getting to the playoffs and winning there added a energy out there tonight being being back in the Bronx of course a lot of Simon me I was a little nervous when I get to the field but someone start playing and go away how did you feel on the batter box tonight feel good feel pretty good I miss couple couple PES were pretty good you also stole a base stole third which led to a run just the speed aspect of your game how much pride do you take in that is that important for you to to be aggressive on the basis 100% I mean that's a big part of my of my game like my SP uh was I saw the opportunity I saw the third basement like kind of far away and I take it with well with Soto and with judge and you know you when you get going here I mean do you start thinking about how good this offense can be I mean obviously with those guys and like the whole group when when start hitting but I mean it's going to be it's going to be good be like insane [Music]
