My faith is what makes me strong. Without faith, there are only low times.

When I rely on my faith, I know God wants to reward and bless me but not because of some great act that I did but because of who He is.

With faith, I know that everything will be taken care of. Even the difficult times become learning experiences to help make my faith stronger.

My favorite book in the Bible is always Proverbs because it's where you can find wisdom for no matter what you're going through. It hits me every time I read it. I've always read Proverbs regularly because it helps me deal with what's happening every day in real life.

I'd rather save a home run than hit one. I've always been like that. Defense is what I pride myself on.

I try to walk like Christ in my life. If I strike out, I don't curse, or throw my bat or hit things back in the dugout, I try to quietly just put my helmet back. I may be very upset but I try to control myself.

Now you have kids that say, 'I wanna be Torii Hunter one day.' Man, I love that.
