This is a crazy game we play. You're going to have those times you can't get out, and those times where you can do everything right, and the ball does not fall. ”

I have a short time to play this game. I'm trying to get every ounce of it out of my body. ”

Any time you play shortstop or center field, the majority of the baseballs are hit in the middle of the field. ”

When you're facing a different guy every at-bat, he's coming at you with his best stuff. There's no warm-up; there's no 'see a pitch.' You've got to be locked in from the very first pitch... The biggest thing is do your homework before the game starts. ”

During the season, I usually work out two or three times a week. I'll do a full-body workout after games. I plan it out the day of. ”

My dad told me, 'If you're going to go out there and play baseball, or you're going to play basketball or football, work hard at it no matter what. I want you to have fun with your buddies, but you have to put in the time because this is your craft.' He didn't just want me to be good. He pushed me to that next level. ”
