I just try to do my best every at-bat. That's what I plan to do.

You always want to get at-bats. You always want to contribute.

You have to stay fresh and blank in your mind when you go out to bat. You complicate things, and you're gone.

My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.

I've learned that getting what you want gives you a pretty high batting average, and leaves you plenty to struggle for.

I'm a very results-oriented person. I want to see us move the ball forward.

One game, one pitch can change everything for a hitter. The way I like to approach it is that every at-bat is its own unique opportunity to go out there and do something really good.

Just because you're down to your last strike, you're not out yet. You can always do more. You'll always have more at-bats to take. That's true in baseball, in rescuing animals, and in life, generally.

Are you tall? Are you strong? How big are your hands? You must be honest with yourself or you will end up using the wrong bat.

You have got to field well. If you don't bat well, you can still make a difference by fielding well. There are times I have played games just because of my fielding.
