I throw the ball ninety-two miles an hour, but they hit it back just as hard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was always the kind of hitter that if you threw it 92 miles per hour at me, I'd hit it right back at you.
I could always hit the ball really far, but you don't need to be strong to do that.
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.
They throw the ball, I hit it. They hit the ball, I catch it.
Today, at 35, I can throw a small football close to 80 yards - and straighter than I can hit a golf ball.
I throw as hard as I can when I think I have to throw as hard as I can.
I found out early in life that I could hit a baseball farther than most players, and that's what I tried to do.
I just try to make the plays when they throw them to me.
If you don't throw it, they can't hit it.
When you can throw 97 miles an hour and put the ball over the plate anytime you want, it's fun.
