He gives me a lot to work with. His location is unbelievable. He hits my mitt pretty much consistently, and that's why he knows what he's doing.
ball both gives hits location mitt obviously possible sides work works
He gives me a lot to work with. He does everything possible to keep them off balance. He obviously works both sides of the plate. His location is unbelievable -- when I want the ball up or the ball down, he hits my mitt pretty much consistent. And that's why he's doing what he's doing.

I was upset. Obviously, I wanted to play for Puerto Rico. I wanted to play in front of my family, to be there and wear that P.R. on my shirt. But it didn't happen.

There is only one Mariano Rivera. There won't be another person who will come along and do what he did. No one does it like him. It was an honor to catch him and play alongside him for as long as I did.

He was fun to catch; he was pitching more than just throwing the ball, ... It really takes a lot to want to come back. When you want to come back, you work hard and do the things you're supposed to do to come back. It takes a lot.
arm ball best care doubt effortless fun hand prospect
He has the best arm in camp, no doubt about it. Better than all these guys. I don't care how old he is. He's unbelievable. It's effortless the way the ball comes out of his hand at 95-96. He's that impressive. He's the best prospect we've got. It's fun to see.

Whatever it takes to get a 'W,' we have to keep on winning,

He just laid into me. Actually, we just collided. It was pretty ugly. It was either through me or around me. He decided to try to go through me.
