If it weren't for Jesus, I would not be where I am today and my life would be without purpose. I've heard kids say they want to be just like me when they grow up. They should know I want to be just like Jesus.
Baseball is simply my platform to elevate Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.
I play to represent God, something bigger than baseball.
People ask me if I believe how quickly my career has taken off. I just tell them that Jesus Christ is my strength. God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. That is more important than anything I could ever do in baseball.
I try to spend as much time as possible with God and my family. That's more important than anything I'm doing in baseball.
I learned to play (baseball) on the streets in the Dominican Republic when I was 8 yrs old.
