It could help, because I can work even more on my spins. If you're just a fastball pitcher, it's going to hurt you.

With a lot of college coaches, they just look at your size. They don't care how you play. It bothered me at first. I love pitching, but I also like playing, and I'll play anywhere.

Moving it back has really helped because it gives me more time. Because the strong pitchers just throw fastballs. I can put more movement on it now.

I've never been a power hitter before, but I've been working out to increase my strength. I'm not that big to begin with, but I can feel it now when I drive the ball.

Their starting pitcher had two really tough pitches. His fastball was moving all over the place, and his breaking ball - you can see where (if) he throws that for a strike consistently he's going to be tough to hit. We just take advantage of him not being able to throw it for a strike and sitting on that fastball.

It's very difficult to go that route. When I've needed help, I've had people there. Mentally, you need a best friend to talk to. I talk to my brother (Nathan) nearly every day, whether I'm playing good or bad, because he understands the game.
