Michael Jordan told me the way he kept the crown was by always outworking everyone else because he knew everyone was always coming after him. You can sneak up on people when you are 18, 19, 20. It's tougher when you're established. Before, I'd see 13, 14, 15 pitches that I could drive in a game. Now, I see one, two or three, so I have to be better.

We have a responsibility not just as atheletes, but as members of society to treat people well. To do things the right way.

I've done a lot of growing up and realized a lot of things.

I do my best hitting when I'm walking. That means I'm relaxed and my pitch recognition is a lot better.

I'm not impulsive at all - except about buying clothes. That's my biggest weakness.

It's tougher when you're established. Before, I'd see 13, 14, 15 pitches that I could drive in a game. Now, I see one, two or three, so I have to be better.

I have incredible motivation to go out and improve every day.
