I Was A Last Round Draft Pick.

Nobody Wanted Me. Scouts Told Me To Go To School, To Forget Baseball. Coaches Said, 'you're Never Going To Make It.' I Appreciated Their Honesty, Because I Think When Someone Tells You Something You May Not Like, You Have To Use That As Fuel For Motivation.

Please Don't Quote Me.

Yes, Hard Is Good. When I Was In High School, I Spent A Lot Of Time On My Knees Playing With Balls. I Guess It Was Only Natural That I Became A Catcher.

I'm Playing Baseball Because I Love It, Not Because I Need The Money Or Attention. That Is Why I've Been So Dedicated. I've Accomplished A Lot Of Things No One Ever Thought I Could, And I've Done It From Hard Work.

I Was A Last Round Draft Pick. Nobody Wanted Me. I Could Count The Amount Of Scouts That Told Me To Go To School, To Forget Baseball.
