I hit a ball for a living, but I have that passion to keep learning.

Because I'm fairly big, I like to use my body. So I'll control the ball, even when there's a player on me, and then I'll pass.

I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me.

If you're free of mechanical thoughts and free of knowing that your body and bat are going to be in the right position at the right time, you can freely focus on the ball. It's a great feeling.

I hit the ball early and move my wrist a lot, so I get bigger angles.

I was not successful as a ball player, as it was a game of skill.

Sports formed me. I was always decently skilled but lacked size, so I had to resort to using my skill versus my power. I strategically play golf because that's all I can do. It's the same on the basketball court. I try to get open and shoot it. Or I use the open space on the soccer field.

I trained myself to perform on the field.

I found out early in life that I could hit a baseball farther than most players, and that's what I tried to do.

I just like the ball in my hands whether I'm running it or catching it.
