What is your proudest moment in baseball? "Probably that first day. Making it to the big leagues, it's one of those big feats. They always say it's the "1-percenters." There are only 750 guys in the big leagues every year. You don't realize it until you make it and then you step back and realize it's a big-time feat to get here."
What would you be doing if not playing baseball? "I went to college and I majored in sociology. It's not really a major I would look for a job in, I guess. It's one of those things where I went to get an education at Vanderbilt and hopefully, I could fall back into something in baseball."
