When I started to play consistently and produce consistently, that's when I knew that I could compete and do well in the big leagues.

Obviously, the only reason I'm where I am is because God has gifted me and He has seen fit to put me where I am. I have to honor that by using my influence and my status on the team and in the game of baseball for good and to His purpose.

I almost feel guilty. The physical toll is tremendous. Im exhausted and I only played nine innings.
