What I need as a player is just to get at-bats, I think.

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

The hits and the misses. I just want to keep the at-bats solid.

I bat righty.

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.

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

You obviously want the results but you must do your job in every at-bat and deal with what every situation dictates.

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.

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.
