I'm not really a big Springsteen guy. I'll listen to the music, but ... I didn't really get attached to it as much as, like, country artists. That's really who I listen to.

No curfew. I live in the basement. I got everything I need. Home cooking ... it's awesome.

The first professional game of your career is obviously the biggest, but you still get the jitters, you still get the adrenaline rush before every game. A lot of people don't realize that, but it's true. I have always told myself that if you don't feel those nerves and you're not having fun, you shouldn't be playing. And I always enjoy the competition, the adrenaline rush before a game. And just competing with your buddies at the highest level, every day.

Growing up, I was such a picky eater. I'm finally starting to expand.

You surprise yourself on some balls off the bat. You don't think you have a chance to catch it. And then your natural ability just takes over.

The first couple of years in the minors were tough for me. My numbers were there, but being away from home so young was tough.

As I get older every year, I'm eating better. As a kid, who can turn down chips and candy? But I'm getting better.
