"I was a cocky kid, and I felt like I was an adult at, like, 9. I think that's because my parents always treated me as an adult."

I enjoyed hitting in the Major Leagues more than in the Minor Leagues. I didn't want to tell anybody it was easier, because I didn't want to sound cocky. But Major League pitchers had better control, and most of them were around the plate.
