You got the ball in your hands and you're in command, and if you get your good pitch where you want it, nobody's gonna hit you.

I'm glad I don't have to face that guy (Don Mattingly) every day. He has that look that few hitters have. I don't know if it's his stance, his eyes or what, but you can tell he means business.

I figured that pitchers had a better chance of getting drafted than fielders, so I decided I should be a pitcher. But I never expected to be picked in the first round. I wasn't even sure I'd get picked at all.

Plus, when you get in tough situations, like the bases loaded and nobody out, you never give in.

My father helped me become a ballplayer and take the good with the bad.

The day I pitched, I would drink either 'cause I was celebrating or I lost and couldn't sleep.
