He is Kenny Powers, Forrest Gump, Paul Bunyan, Batman and Walter Johnson rolled into one

Big leaguers communicate at an unreal level.
Here's a really cool sequence from last nights Mets-Braves game.
On a 2-2 count, James McCann calls for a high cutter from Bassitt. He sets his target early.
He pitched just 3 innings in 2019 due to injury (and none in 2020, because 2020) & began 2022 in independent ball with the Charleston Dirty Birds before coming to Durham
In his 9th MiLB season, this 39th round draft pick is going to The Show for the 1st time
Congrats, Kevin!
@ZackRaab@simmy_cohen@joe_schick@thesportsrabbi@AviMiIIer Huge huge “same” from me. Intent was to be there from making Aliyah back in 2018. But this squad was the right group of guys and fought their tails off, wouldn’t have built it any other way. Pretty unrealistic to Monday morning QB a country’s first Olympic run. It was impressive.
@CespedesBBQ Damn we used to have to do this on the backfields in spring training but regular season?? Yikes. Grab a 12 year old out of the stands and give em free dipping dots.
