Sam was throwing fastballs up in the zone, so they were hitting fastballs all over the place.

Early, he was topping out about 84 (mph), throwing BP fastballs. Obviously you can't keep pitching down in the zone at 85, so he elevated a few balls and we were unable to square them up.

I was throwing fastballs, fastballs, fastballs. It was a good feeling.

I kept looking for Hilliard to throw his curve, but he kept throwing me fastballs. So I kept taking good hacks at them.

There's no need to run around crazy. It's like pitchers. The first couple of weeks they're throwing all fastballs or working on stuff, then eventually they put it all together. So far I've been watching pitchers, trying to get the timing down.

She?s such a great ball striker, ... and if it?s in her hitting zone, she?s going to hit a winner almost every single time.
