There is no way to have a strong arm if you don't throw enough.

I could throw pretty hard. I might strike out 16 guys, but I might walk 10. I mean, I was wild.

It took me a few years to realize that throwing harder wasn't always better.

Something went wrong with my right arm. I no longer could throw hard, and it hurt like the dickens every time I threw.

If I'm going to get hit, why let the guy who's going to hit me get the easiest and best shot? I explode into the guy who's trying to tackle me.

We've got guys who aren't wrapping guys up... No matter how hard you hit them, you've still got to wrap them up.

Can I throw harder than Joe Wood? Listen mister, no man alive can throw any harder than Smokey Joe Wood.

I'm the kind of person that if I try to throw it hard, it doesn't come out as good. So my whole thought process is to stay smooth, stay on top of the ball, and just get my hand out in front.
