I threw a lot more curveballs in college and the minor leagues. Up here, they're looking for that pitch. A curveball is more recognizable out of the hand than a fastball or changeup. They're taking them or hitting the mistakes I make with them. I don't want it to be so recognizable. I'll have to work with that because that was my pitch.

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

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

I'm focused on myself and on what I've got to do...I'm just trying to get back on track and keep this positive mindset.

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.

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.
