I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn't mean I'm going to get a hit every game, but that's one of the reasons I've come a long way as a hitter.

Baseball is just my job.

I pitched and I played the outfield.

My dad was my coach in baseball and early on in basketball, so playing baseball was something we always did.

I try to do my best every game to help the pitchers and help my team win. That's it.

The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games.

Baseball is my job, and I love it, but it can't be the only thing I've got going on.

I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball.

Baseball's what I do.
