The majority of the time with two strikes I'll choke up on the bat a little bit to try to stay as short as possible. It doesn't always work out like that, but that's the goal.

I figured out that there are occasions where you have to get pumped up and take charge, situations where you have to have fun and situations where you need to settle down.

I don't really like the spotlight.

Hitting at the top of the order is a good thing. You get more at-bats. I'm excited to see how this develops.

I'm definitely not the most graceful person out there. I've always been taught to play hard. I don't know how not to play hard. But for some guys it just looks easier. For me, it's not that natural.

I know it sounds stupid and cliche, but I just want to get better. I want to keep improving.

You try to take it game-to-game and keep working.
