I think the two most important parts of any athlete's workouts are his leg workouts and his core training.

I'm in the gym three to four days a week, depending on how I'm feeling. With chest, legs and back being the most important parts of any athlete's body, I try to train these on separate days with at least a day off in between.

In regards to core training, I try to incorporate the medicine ball whenever possible. As a baseball player, there is a lot of twisting and turning that I will do. Keeping my abs strong is as important as anything else.

I just couldn't believe I did it, ... You don't think that until you make the out. You can't think like that. You can't think negative in that situation. Always think positive, and that's what I did.

Sometimes you think, 'Why did this happen' ... That's why this game is so hard to figure out.

I think one of the most important attributes is perseverance.
