Trea Turner

“You always dream about trying to be the best.”

“I think winning's a little more fun than losing, obviously.”

“It's unbelievable how much talent there is among shortstops. They all bring something a little different to the table.”

“I've always told everybody that hits behind me, swing at whatever you want because if you hit the ball in the gap, I'll score.”

“There are so many categories you can pick whatever you like to show who's best.”

“Sometimes I chase, but I'd rather swing at a close pitch than take it for strike three.”

“Every single game, I feel like I have something to prove - whether it's to myself or other people.”

“I have to keep improving.”

“I'm trying to go out there and do everything I can to get better.”

“I'm not a good gift-giver, other than the fact that I like surprising people. I usually give what people ask for but I try to make it seem like I'm not buying it.”

“I've always been a little bit doubted, and I've tried to go out and prove people wrong.”

“For me, that's the difference in good hitters and bad hitters. If you can stay in the zone and make them throw you pitches, you'll be able to drive the ball a little bit better.”

“I just want to do my job and have fun and enjoy my teammates, and I don't need to tell everybody that, oh, this is what I'm doing or this is how good I am.”

“I mean, I think I pride myself on being a good hitter so if I have to, my job changes and I have to adapt to do that.”

“I'm not planning on doing anything other than trying to be as best I can.”

“I think I can change small things to make me feel better each and every day.”

“It's something that is an honor - everybody wants to be an All-Star. I feel like it's a huge accomplishment year in and year out. It's not easy to do every year.”

“Be yourself, you are who you are and be proud of it. And rely on your friends and family.”

“I think everyone can always improve, but listening to a ton of people all the time is not necessarily a good thing.”

“You got to have fun. That's how I've approached each and every day. Obviously, some days have been a little bit tougher than others, but I've been trying to have fun.”
