How was your offseason and rehab?
SH- The off-season is always welcomed. Getting to spend time with family and loved ones, and an opportunity to reflect on how blessed I am.
You had a spectacular year filled with moments last year, what was it like coming into your own like that and did you have a favorite moment (aside from Cal’s homer)?
SH- 2022 was an amazing year, filled with many exciting moments. Cal’s homer will always stick with me, but that entire night was truly remarkable. The fans never left the stadium, and you could feel 21 years of a drought vanish in a night.
