I fell in love with baseball in an early age. Whenever I practiced, my whole soul focus was to continue to get better and to work my body to get in shape, just to be everything so right, because I knew, as an athlete, I was ok, but there were a lot of other people that were better than me. So I had to use what I thought was my advantage, and that was my brain, my thinking that I could outwork other people.
