If you're not in the game, you can't hit a home run.
When you're going into a game, you're not expected to hit a home run every game. You're just doing everything proper with proper swings.
I don't think I'm a home run hitter. Most of my home runs are line drives. If I hit it, thanks God. But it's not the kind of thing that I think about. I just go out there and try to have a better season than I had before. Home runs are not in my mind.
I wouldn't describe myself as a home run hitter. I'm just trying to hit the ball hard in the gaps. Just backspinning baseballs and hitting line drives.
How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball.
You don't have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it'll go.
