I don't think there's anything out there I can be afraid of.

Baseball is simply my platform to elevate Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

I don't want to be too stiff, because then my hands won't be as quick.

I don't know why people say I'm not supposed to be doing what I'm doing. I'm just trying to do my job. I'm blessed, and I'm glad that I'm blessed.

It doesn't matter if I hit a home run. It doesn't matter if we win a game. It doesn't matter if I go four for four. Whatever happens at the end of the day, as long as I glorify His name, that's what it's all about.

I'm a teammate guy, so whatever I can do to help my team to win like I have the past two years, that's what I want to do. If it takes for me to play first base, third base, right field, I just want to win the game.

I have five young children, and I take being a role model very seriously.
