We probably could play him at first (base); he just wouldn't be a very big target to hit.

I'm allowed to play here. There's a good coaching staff encouraging me to be creative and good teammates helping to get the ball down the field.

We picked this date because both the men and women play. Plus it's only a two hour bus ride.

One pitch was low, and it would have been a 3-1 count. Instead, it was a strike. This guy is throwing 98 mph and changing speeds on him. And he battled and smoked that ball off the right-field wall.

Cody, he's the type of guy, no matter what, he's going to work his rear end off. He wanted to get off to a good start and might have been trying a little too hard.

I don't care if you've been drafted No. 1 or signed as a free agent. You're going to get out of the game what you put into it. His commitment level is very high. I can tell he's on a mission.
