See the ball; hit the ball.

You got the ball in your hands and you're in command, and if you get your good pitch where you want it, nobody's gonna hit you.

When he hit a ground ball to you, you knew you had to make a good throw because he was going to be running.

Without the ball, you can't win.

I know what it's like to win things. You need a certain type of player with a determination to win. You see it in the eyes.

The man with the ball is responsible for what happens to the ball.

A great ballplayer is a player who will take a chance.

The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go.

When you lose the ability to step up and hit the ball as hard and as far as you want, that also affects your ability to will the ball to go where you want it to go, if you know what I mean.

You need to understand the batsman, where he plays his shot usually, which is his release shot, and then change the angle, vary the pace, line and length. You cannot always react after being at the receiving end.
