I've always been my own hitting coach.

I'm the same guy I've always been. I'm the same guy now as when I was hitting 50 home runs. I don't change.

Through the years I've been getting better and better and better, and it's what you learn though the seasons.

I'm a guy that people look at me not only as a guy that hit the ball.

I'm very mechanical, so if I have one thing that's going in the wrong direction when I'm hitting, it's hard for me to get a hit.

My whole career, my swing has always been the most important thing to me. Even when I'm taking a shower, I work on my swing.

I'm not thinking home run, I just want to put a good swing on the ball. When you go looking for home runs, you get off of your swing. So you don't think of homers when you go up to the plate.
