I'm drawing right now by a man that is best described as a winner.

0:03

He knows how to play winning baseball. He's been on multiple World championship teams,

0:08

but no team is he identified with more than the Los Angeles Dodgers,

0:13

and that is the great Jose Viscay. You know, thanks a lot for

0:16

the time. Thank you David for having me. Hey, I love that

0:19

you did not wear your hat so I could see that beautiful bald head of

0:22

yours. Thank you. Yeah. Today, sound that they game so we

0:26

can early and this onstra work with with the infield. And then I realized

0:32

that sun is out, is really nice weather, so I just took my

0:35

hat off. You've been putting in a lot of work as a coach with

0:38

your infield defense, Gavin Lux, Mookie Bets. What have you been able

0:43

to teach them? But you know, I've been doing a lot of work

0:47

because Dino, you know, he heard his u his hand, his finger

0:52

and then you know, I'm doing some letto extra work with with the infield.

0:56

But we've been just working on diffing, you know, uh, try

1:00

to do the you know, teach them the fundamental baseball that you know,

1:04

you gotta you gotta move your feet to be a good in field. And

1:07

then you know, especially with Mookie that you know, switching position and got

1:11

the short start. Wars were different than second base, and you know every

1:17

day and now with Miguel Roy helping him out, you know, just just

1:21

you know, showing him, you know, different way to take grand ball

1:25

and then use your fee. So he's doing a great job. Today he

1:29

did a half a job just working on his throwing and using his fee,

1:33

and he's been doing a great job. Jose, this guy, you know,

1:37

is our guest just in front of first pitch. You are one of

1:40

the best shortstops of your time. You are very versatile infielder. When you

1:45

try to help a player like Mookie Bets, is it important not to overload

1:49

him with too much information. Of course, you just want to, you

1:53

know, try to teach them the bases. You know, you gotta to

1:57

be able to be a good field. You had to be able to move

2:00

your fee and then you know, and sometimes uh, you see in field

2:06

that have quick hand, but they don't have a quick fee, So you

2:09

got to synchronize both to throw the boarder first bag because especially with hand,

2:14

he's so quick with in his hand but uh, letter slow his fee.

2:17

But now he's transition and and make it all together. And that's why he's

2:22

uh, he's progressing every day. So we know who you are now,

2:25

and we know about your playing career, and we know about how you know

2:29

how to play the game and have a feel for the game. But when you were coming up in the Dodger organization, who helped you? Was there

2:37

one or two people that really helped you? When you were in the minor leagues with the Dodgers, there was a lot of guy that you know that

2:42

helped me out, but no more than than Chiko Fernande. You know,

2:46

he was, uh he was our in film instructor for many years and and

2:50

and you know he he worked with Ron Washington, you know, Evil one

2:54

Castro, you know, Old Offerman, Old in Field, you know,

3:00

and Beltray, all the in field that came out. You know, with

3:02

the Dodger he worked with almost everyone. So you know, we we learn

3:07

from him. He's the best. He always, you know, want to

3:09

teach the real fundamental baseball and then and that's why he sees a lot of

3:15

good infield now. You know, with Dino Runsington, they teaching all the

3:20

organizations so you know, we are proud that we learn from the best.

3:23

Jose Vis guy. You know, when you're coaching up the Dodgers today,

3:29

do you ever catch yourself sounding like Chico Fernandez or teaching the same things?

3:35

Almost? No, every no, not the same thing, because you know,

3:38

every every infield is different. You know, I just like hitting.

3:42

Everybody hit different. So you know, one thing that I that I tried

3:46

to do with Mookie, I just you know, just help him with the

3:49

ability, because he's never gonna let how to catch, just like Migel Rojas.

3:53

So I just tried to pick something that he liked and then you know,

3:58

work with and if he can get better with that, fine, if

4:00

you know, just just work with what he have and just you know,

4:04

just be consistent and every day you strive to be better. Wow, makes

4:09

a lot of sense. That's why you have so much respect from every player

4:13

you come in contact with. And if he wanted to give up his golf

4:16

game, he'd be a major league manager someday. Thanks a lot for the

4:20

time. Thank you day
