I hang in there all the time. I'm not afraid to be taken out. I think that's the biggest thing to do-just stay in there on the double play.

Just because somebody swings one way and I swing another way doesn't mean he's better than me or I'm better than him ... Does my swing get hits? Yes.

When I play videogames I'm trying to go deep every pitch. I'm definitely not going to try to do that in real life. In the (video)game I'm trying to leave the yard.

People always ask me if I wish I were bigger. I tell them no. I always wanted to be a miniature badass.

I just try to see the ball and hit it. If I get a hit, I get a hit. If I get out, I get out. There's no secret about it.

Next year I want to be better than this season, and the year after that, better than the year before.

I'm going to go out there and be who I am, and if you don't like it, then watch somebody else.
