If you are content with yourself, you'll stop taking those little steps forward and begin taking big steps backward.

People judge too much by results. I'm just the opposite. I care about more than results. I'd rather make a good pitch and give up a bloop single than make a bad pitch and get an out.

I daydream just like everybody else. I just do it with my body facing the field, so everybody thinks I'm paying attention.

What has benefited me the most is learning I can't control what happens outside of my pitching.

When people say (nice) things you take them as compliments and it's nice, but it won't help you win your next game. The thing I am trying to keep in mind is that relying on my past performance will not make me win my next game, it'll only get in my way.

Regardless of where you're pitching, regardless of what goes on before or after your game, you still have to be ready.

Consistency is something you can always improve on. You can be more consistent with your mental approach, the things you do physically on the mound. Instead of doing 5 good pitches an inning, try to make six. You can always do more of what you are doing well and try to be as consistent as you can be.
