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.

I come to play everyday.

You just have to go as far as you can go. Everyone works his way up.

I swing hard all the time. That's what I've done my whole life-hit.

I've always been my own hitting coach.

If I can't hit at a high level, I won't play, and I know there comes a point where my body won't be able to do that.

I try to be as quiet as I can at the plate, but still aggressive.
