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

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.

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

I will send a fastball into the cyber hole.

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.

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