I didn't know what to expect coming to college. High school was pretty easy and I guess I expected college to be along the same route. It was just an overwhelming experience.

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

It took us a little while, but we swung the bats well tonight.

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’ve talked to guys who have played for the Phillies and gone on to other organizations and the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

I've said this before, but going and playing with the guys that have been to the World Series, the elite players of the game, there's no harm in hanging around those guys at all.

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.
