Any pitcher who might throw at me should know I'm not giving up my day job or trying to get anyone else's job. I just can't think of anything cooler than being one of the boys of summer! ↗

The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games. ↗

I like my friends to be the hitters. The pitchers, they all have the same brain as I do. The hitters see the game from a different perspective. ↗
