But to be the best, you must face the best. And to overcome your fear, you must deal with the best.

As an athlete, you only have so much time. The window only has so much time and then it closes. You have to take care of yourself the best you can.

I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.

It's called talent. I just have it. I can't explain it. You either have it or you don't.

Every pitcher can beat you, it doesn't matter how good you are.

I have to face the fear. I have to take control of the situation and find a way to make it less frightening.
