I prided myself on working as hard as I could, trying to overcome a learning diability.

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

I'm not a big city guy...there's too many people, there's too much traffic.

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.

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

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

You can either take it as a way to motivate yourself or be happy with what you've got.
