You are not supposed to convert anybody, that's God's job. But at the same time, you can be His disciple and live for Him and when people ask you why are you living for Him, you can show them why and profess your faith. ”

You never want to be in a defensive mode or have a defensive mindset. You always want to know that you're in control as the pitcher, you make him get hits, you're never passive, always aggressive. If I get beat, I want it to be because I got rocked, got hit hard, never because I walked a couple of guys and before you know it. ”

I'm not a big thinker. The less thinking the better. ”

Baseball is so hard as it is. For me, if you simplify it, it takes a little bit of the weight off, rather than trying to figure out all these other things. It's just peace of mind. ”

They say baseball's a game of failure. Well, that's only true on the offensive side. ”

Jesus is the only true way to Heaven. ”

Yeah, my faith is very important to me. ”

No matter how long you play this game, you struggle and your confidence will go here and there at times. ”

Things change. Routines change. Things have to change. But change doesn't mean less. It just means different. ”

It's just Lord be with me... Winning and losing isn't the most important thing. He's not worried about the outcome of the game. He's worried about how I reflect Him and how I'm pitching... I think every time you pitch and every time you go on the mound you have to understand that it's for Him. ”
