I love pitching in front of big crowds and in huge stadiums.

Because I have so much life on my pitches, I can get away with getting too much of the plate every now and then.

My dad always told me to play hard and know that the people you're competing with and against are working just as hard or harder. So don't let them out-work you.

I practice on the acoustic guitar a little bit, but I think I have reached the peak of my talent.

I'm a tough guy, and I like pitching in tough games.

Hitters are too big, too strong, and their bats are too quick. I have to go inside to have success.

I've matured a lot as a pitcher. I understand what my strengths are. I've learned that I've got a great sinker, I get a lot of ground balls, and it's easy to get a ground-ball double play.
