I can't try to throw 110 miles per hour. I've got to pitch under control..

I prided myself on working as hard as I could, trying to overcome a learning diability..

A good changeup is what I need to get to the next level..

You can either take it as a way to motivate yourself or be happy with what you've got..

Everybody's dream is to be in the big leagues, but only one in a million gets here..

I like to hunt. After baseball, I'll go back and buy some land and do some farming..

I don't ever want to be an average fourth starter. I want to be the big guy..

I'm not a big city guy...there's too many people, there's too much traffic..

To my parents and all the people who reassured me that leaving high school and going into the draft was the right thing to do, I am forever thankful..

Taking the GED and moving on to my dream of playing baseball was what I wanted to do, and my mom and dad supported me..

Now I know that I don't have to go after every batter with the hardest pitch I've got..
