He's had to deal with a great deal this year. It's best for him and his family that he is with them. |
He's in one of those stretches right now. He's seeing the ball real well and putting good swings on it. |
He's in the zone right now. He's the hottest hitter in baseball. |
He's just got so many weapons, ... Great stuff, command of his fastball, a changeup that's way above average, great arm action. |
He's looked great. He's a pro. He knows what he needs to do to get ready. |
He's making some adjustments. He's working at it. |
He's not afraid to fail. If he swings at a pitch in the dirt, he stays with it. He doesn't get timid and just try to make contact. He'll go after the next pitch if it's something he can hit. |
He's not only strong, he's a great hitter who understands the strike zone and understands his swing. |
He's pitching as well as he ever has. |
He's pitching as well as he ever has. He's staying in his delivery, doing a much better job of commanding his fastball. |
He's progressed there a lot faster than any of us expected. |
He's recovering, and we're hopeful he can resume baseball activity today. |
He's similar to a veteran pitcher in that he can make the ball do what he wants it to do. His command of his pitches is way ahead of most guys with that amount of experience. |
He's so consistent in his temperament, he approaches the game the same way. |
He's taking it easy. Hopefully he'll resume baseball activity [Friday]. |
