the perfect fit for me is anmy team that needs a starting pitcher who is durable. that is the one thing that i have always been in my career. over the last two seasons I made some tweaks and added some MPH and developed a more consistent change up

Mad respect for you coming from a Phillies fan. Is Philly actually tougher to pitch in? Were the fans tough on you?

Dan Straily

11:05

Philly is tough to pitch in. the fans bring the energy but if you have ever seen for love of the game. when he says "clear the mechanism" its kinda like that in real life as well.

Mets need depth would you sign a minor league deal with more guaranteed money to stay as a depth piece. i.e. we will pay you 3 million whether you make it to the big leagues or not, what would you say to that. if you make the big leagues we will give you 5 million

Dan Straily

11:10

my agent is also my friend. been working with him for 13 years. he gives advice on what deals to take or not take. something you might not expect is that he lived in korea for high school actually

Much has been talked about the baseballs used recently. Which do you prefer - the balls used in Korea or in MLB?

Dan Straily

11:14

the KBO balls are pre treated and no substance is allowed at all. they are really nice actually. i would love to see MLB use a ball with the treatment on it for a consistent ball through out the leagues

Two part question. You said Trout was the toughest hitter you faced, but who was the toughest Pitcher you faced as a hitter? Also, who was the most impressive teammate to watch day in and day out?

Dan Straily

11:16

Cole. it was my first at bat in 10 years since high school and i swear i didnt even see the ball.

Ichiro was by far the most impressive day to day!

Zach

Dan! Thanks for taking the time to chat. As a fellow Marshall alum, how did you end up in Huntington and is there anything that stood out from your time there?

Dan Straily

11:19

I was just looking for a D1 school that would let me play baseball! No baseball field stood out to me but guys have been working hard and getting it done despite that
