I'm going to do my best to help the team play hard and help the team win... I'm just coming to play baseball.

I think once I see everybody and go through every team and their pitchers, I'll get an idea of what they like to do. And they'll see what I like to do and swing at. I think there's always something you've got to adjust to.

The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games.

Every time I take the mound, I try to win. So that's what I'm trying to do.

I try to play like I did when I was a young boy playing in my garden. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not so good, but I try to always make sure I give my best to help the team, even if I am not having the best game myself.

I just go out there every game and try to be the best I can be for our team.

I've done literally everything there is to do on a baseball field as a pitcher.

I just prepare myself to perform well, to support my teammates to play well, to try to get to the final, to the World Series.

I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn't mean I'm going to get a hit every game, but that's one of the reasons I've come a long way as a hitter.
