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.

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.

I'm going to go to my house and drink a little bit. Can I say that? I guess I can.

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

I've gone from a two-pitch guy to a four-pitch guy.
