My biggest thing is to stay with my approach and take quality ABs to the plate. I'm just trying to keep it simple.

I'm half Native American and half white so I think I can adjust culturally to anything.

I'm proud to be a New York Yankee.

I try to be my own player. I really haven't modeled my game after anybody.

I weighed the pros and cons of both, and college outweighed the pro ranks at the time and I'm definitely glad I made the choice to come to Oregon State because I'm a better player for it.

I understand the importance of giving back, and that's something I definitely want to do.

It was fun, having speed and being able to jump. Especially playing football. I played wide receiver and defensive back.
