Don't even think I could do that in a game. I can do warm-ups, but catch in a game? I tried that when I was a little kid and it didn't work out. |
He's a good hitter; he's born to hit. It's still early (but) I think his adrenaline and intensity are going to take over. To take a changeup down and in like that and keep it fair, you've got to be great. |
I can't really tell you why this is happening. It's kind of weird. |
I don't really know why to be honest. I'm not that great a hitter. When I face him (Duke), I don't know, I just get lucky. |
It's exciting. I like it, because there's a lot of kids who don't have experience. This is a good moment for them. They can relax a little bit and see it's just baseball -- they're not facing players from another planet. They're ready for this. |
That's a guy who has a lot of years in the big leagues and World Series experience. It means a lot for everybody. They can say they faced Mike Stanton after watching him on TV, and had a chance to get a hit off him. |
