Now I know that I don't have to go after every batter with the hardest pitch I've got.

A good changeup is what I need to get to the next level.

I can't try to throw 110 miles per hour. I've got to pitch under control.

Taking the GED and moving on to my dream of playing baseball was what I wanted to do, and my mom and dad supported me.

Everybody's dream is to be in the big leagues, but only one in a million gets here.

To my parents and all the people who reassured me that leaving high school and going into the draft was the right thing to do, I am forever thankful.

I like to hunt. After baseball, I'll go back and buy some land and do some farming.
