You always want to get at-bats. You always want to contribute.

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

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

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

When you bat, you need to have a lot of patience. I started training for it from the age of eight or nine. So, I knew what I needed when I stepped on the field to 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.

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.

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.

I just want to play baseball.

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