I've always been taught to play the game hard. Baseball is such a tough game, it really humbles you at times, you just have to try not to get too high or too low.

I never want to look in the mirror and say, 'What if? What if I had run harder? What if I had dived for that groundball?'

I know it sounds stupid and cliche, but I just want to get better. I want to keep improving.
