I have to go with the approach I had in Triple-A. I need to take a lot of those fastballs I am seeing to left field. Also must gear up for the changeup and take them up the middle.

The good rising fastball is the best pitch in baseball.

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.

The final release point for the fastball is the tips of your fingers.

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

The three most important pitches I threw in my life were all fastballs.

I want the ball for 90 minutes. When I don't have the ball, I go high pressing because I want the ball.

I'm not executing my pitches. I'm not commanding my fastball, and I get behind in the count. When I try to throw strikes, I'm getting hurt. That's not the way I pitch.

I should play more quickly, more attacking.
