I like to challenge hitters with a 'Here it is, hit it,' mentality. It's definitely a big part of my game, especially when I get in situations where I need it. I usually save a little bit so it's there for me.

To hit 100 miles per hour, that's something. I couldn't believe it when I first saw it, but it's something I can do and think about.

I'm a power guy. Good fastball. A knuckle curve, which I can throw for strikes. A changeup which sinks down and away from lefties and I can also throw for strikes.

If you had told me at the beginning of the year that I was going to be a shoo-in for the Cy Young, I would have been absolutely ecstatic and amazed.

All I know is that if I continue to pitch well, good things will keep happening.

I think that a starting pitcher has to do something special to be as valuable or more so than a position player.
