I will send a fastball into the cyber hole.

I've always looked at myself and criticized myself first, and that's the way I'm always going to be.

I haven't always thrown hard, but eventually my (velocity) caught up with my mechanics.

You don't come up expecting to be a fan favorite. When I was a rookie, I was just trying to make a name for myself, but people already knew who I was and already had expectations for me.

My father-he pretty much taught me everything I know. He still pushes me to be the best I can.

People out there said I was too small. It's those kinds of moments that pushed me to be where I'm at right now.

I've learned a lot about being in the public eye. I'm certainly handling things more maturely now, I'm not getting as scared as easily.
