“I like the two-seam fastball. That's a pitch I'm fascinated with.”

“Why would you lock yourself in a situation that may not make you happy? I think that's highly inefficient.”

“I think when people speak and they come from a place of sincerity and like caring about the situation, you know, it's easy for people to identify that, and to hear that in the genuine nature of it.”

“If anything, I hope to see more players feel comfortable speaking out and sharing their perspectives openly in the future. The game needs more of that in my opinion.”

“I want to be the best. I don't know by what standard you measure being the best, but I want to go out there and perform and feel like I'm the best.”

“You want to be one of the main guys out there with your teammates and contributing.”

“This happens in politics. Any sort of leadership role, this happens. There's certain moments that come across when you have to make a decision. Do I do A or do I do B? The decision drastically changes the future.”

“I try to make the things that I say be based in reality, based in facts, and truthful. And if that's the case, and you want to be upset at me for stating the truth, that's your choice.”

“The professional game, in a lot of ways, sucks. It's not fun like 11-year-old baseball was or college baseball or high school baseball.”

“I want to win a World Series. I've come in second, both in college and in the big leagues. I'm tired of it.”

“I haven't heard a single negative thing. Everyone has glowing reviews. A lot of people have told me, 'If you can play for the Dodgers, you should. First class.'”

“The better I am, the better the team is, so you should want me to be selfish about how good I am.”

“There are good parts and bad parts and middle parts about everybody. So what I would like to be known as is someone who was true to himself and passionate about the game.”

“In a competition, you get fired up, you're jacked up on adrenaline and you do stuff sometimes that you look at later and you're like 'How the heck did I even do that? Why would I do something like that?' But it's just in the moment.”

“You always have to surround yourself with people that are more knowledgeable than you or are better at certain skill sets than you are, so they pull you up.”

“I spend so much time thinking and I don't generally have strong emotional reactions too much.”

“More so than any other major American sport, baseball has the most diversity of culture and personality, and is the least marketable. Why? It doesn't make any sense.”

“I like making myself uncomfortable and throwing different stuff my way and trying to find a solution for it. I think that's how you improve. Find a way to make yourself uncomfortable, get comfortable with it, and do it again.”

“I like to try to learn from my past and be a better person because of it. Better player, better teammate. Better everything.”

“I've always enjoyed being on MLB Network Radio as a guest.”
