I never stop looking for things to try and make myself better.

I like to be against the odds.

I was a momma's boy. I didn't get anything from Dad, except my body and baseball knowledge. The only time I spent with him was at the ballpark.

When I was playing, it would be whatever role I wanted. Now it's whatever they ask me to do, which I kind of like better.

Serra High school, to me, was my most enjoyable time for me in my entire life. That was the only time I was free. We just played baseball because it was fun.

I think of myself as 'catching' the ball with my bat and letting the pitcher supply the power.

Every pitcher can beat you, it doesn't matter how good you are.
