Obviously, a lot of things play on your mind when you're batting. This might happen and this might not. The best thing you can do when you're batting is not to think too much, and wait for the next ball.

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

To cure a batting slump, I took my bat to bed with me. I wanted to know my bat a little better.

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

I didn't think much about batting average when I was playing.

Maybe because I bat aggressively and go for big hits at times, people tend to remember my batting. But I have always done well as a stumper, too.

For me, fielding is everything - it is a passion that comes from within. You can get a bad ball while you bat, and your bowling may not always be up there, but you are completely in control of how well you field.

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.

There is no doubt that because I am a switch hitter I have one of the best offensive advantages that a hitter can have.

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.
