Sometimes in this game, you get punched in the face. And you've got to be able to take it and learn from it.
I think every facet of running has its benefits towards a starting pitcher. I mean, you're explosive off the mound and yet you've got to have endurance.
Perfectionist is sometimes the wrong word... It means like you're never satisfied, or you're upset by every single failure - any type of failure. And so for me, I don't look at failure as necessarily a bad thing as long as I'm able to learn from it and take something from it, so that next time I'm in that situation I know how to succeed.
My slider's been very, very good to me.
I don't worry about infield shifts at all - you play where you're gonna play. I'm just gonna pitch my game.
There's more to pitching than just striking guys out, but also it is a big reason why you can have success.
