Q & A with KJ from fangraphs
The $ quote-
DL: You were originally with the Atlanta Braves. Coming up through their system, was a specific hitting philosophy espoused, or did they mostly let guys be themselves?
KJ: There was no philosophy, that I [saw]. I felt like it was more, for them, either you can do it or you can’t
Sounds like a great approach by TP.

I dont think "up through their system" = TP
How much impact does the big league hitting coach have on the minors?
"He knows where he's throwing. If he didn't, there'd be dead bodies strewn all over Idaho." - Washington Senators scout on Walter Johnson
Reading the rest of KJ’s quotes, I’d say our system did a pretty good job of giving him the right hitter’s mentality.
My dad taught me how to make meat for sloppy joes and my mom let me turn over hot dogs on the grill.
