What motivates me more than money are God and my family.

I don't play for records.

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

I trust that I can hit a fastball, that I can hit any pitch they throw to me.

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.

I never take things for granted. I always look to help out me teammates, to win and be better.

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