“The New York Yankees' organization - they train us well from the get-go. They tell us how to handle everything.”

“Pitchers made an adjustment to me. It's up to me to come up with an answer.”

“In baseball, you have to remain calm, cool, and collected. In football, you can let out a little anger sometimes. It was a fun game, and I liked it, but I knew in my heart I was going to play baseball.”

“I got a job to do on the field.”

“Just being in a video game is an honor, and being on the cover, I can't really describe it.”

“I've just got to stay patient, take my walks when I can, hunt the mistakes, and get on base.”

“For me, the strike zone has always been, If it's something I can drive, it's most likely a strike. I feel like if it's a ball I really can't do much with, it's most likely a ball. So that's just always been my approach.”

“People strike out. I strike out a lot - it happens. Just got to keep working.”

“Even in the Minor Leagues, I thought you have to go out and earn a spot. Nothing is ever given to you.”

“If I know it's going over the fence, I am going to start jogging and just get around the bases and get back in the dugout.”

“One thing I really liked about David Winfield, man, just... the way he played the game, and such a class act he was on and off the field.”

“Being around veteran leaders such as CC Sabathia and Brett Gardner really helped me.”

“I think that is one thing I've picked up: follow a routine, be consistent, and everything is going to fall in place. If you are scrambling around, and you are late for stuff, that adds extra stress, and you have to go out there and hit a 97 mph fastball.”

“I talked to a few schools about playing football, but I had already pretty much made my mind up. I fell in love with baseball at a young age, and I knew that that's what I wanted to do.”

“When you're on the road, fans pay to cheer on their team and boo the other team; that's just part of it. That's what they're supposed to do. I expect it. I think everybody expects that.”

“If my barrel meets the ball, I think good things are going to happen.”

“When you go to college the first couple years, and you kind of get beat around, you kind of think about, 'Maybe if I went to pro ball, it would be a little bit better.' Now that I look back on it, I made the right choice.”

“My dad played junior college basketball, and he always showed me clips of Michael Jordan.”

“That's why you get three of them. Say you get one that you don't think is a strike, and they call it on you: that's why you get two more.”

“I kind of wish I would have been able to see the old Yankee Stadium after seeing the new one.”
