I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.

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 finish playing, I think I'd like to coach college baseball.

I don't know what you guys say, but at home, life is way different from baseball.

I don't want to be a Major League coach.

Those boos really motivate me to make something happen.

But to be the best, you must face the best. And to overcome your fear, you must deal with the best.
