“For me, I take a lot of pride in that, and we take a lot of pride in that, being able to play baseball.”
“Any time you can win going home is great.”
“I'm a leadoff or a two-hole hitter, contact guy.”
“I don't want to lead the league in infield hits because, at some point in my career, I can't get away with it anymore.”
“You want to travel in a good mood; you don't want to be mad about a loss.”
“I know as an athlete I want to use the platform for good and make a difference in a positive way. I think I can do that, and I want to do that.”
“I mean, I'm not really famous.”
“When you're going good or bad, those balls that trickle through the hole or fall in between people, that mentally boosts how you feel, how you're playing.”
“I was a lot smaller in high school, and guys were a lot bigger and faster than me. I stole some bases in high school, but it wasn't until my senior year that I started getting faster.”
“If you're not ready mentally, it can hurt your team just as much physically.”
“Hitting in general is, I think, pretty tough.”
“I hate being told I can't do something.”
“If the opportunity is there to steal a base, I try to steal it.”
“You know how hard it is to play the game from game to game, at-bat to at-bat, so many things can change.”
“It's comforting and relaxing to know exactly what's expected out of you.”
“I don't care that much about stolen bases. So when I steal and a guy fouls a pitch off, for me it's not that frustrating.”
“That is what I always said as I don't want to be one-dimensional; I don't want to just hit homers or have to walk or bunt to get on base.”
“I think I'm athletic enough to do anything.”
“I didn't get drafted to sit out. I got drafted to play.”
“I think stolen bases are always a byproduct of doing other things well. Getting on base - you've got to get on base a lot, obviously. And you've got to be in the right position and your teammates have got to help you out a little bit sometimes.”
