I play to represent God, something bigger than baseball.

If it weren't for Jesus, I would not be where I am today and my life would be without purpose. I've heard kids say they want to be just like me when they grow up. They should know I want to be just like Jesus.

I know I'm good when I'm hitting the ball the other way - that's Albert Pujols.

I believe it is my responsibility to do what I can for children and people with Down syndrome as well as in my native Dominican Republic.

I'm a really smart player. If you tell me something, I get it quickly. If there is something wrong with my hitting, tell me what's wrong and I'll pick it up right away. That's the best thing I have going for me, my ability to listen to a coach and fix what I'm doing wrong.

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

If I need to help my team and play a different position for that game because somebody is hurt or they want to give a day off to somebody, I'll do it.
