Aaron Nieckula Great Quotations

In my opinion, he's been the most consistent bat in the lineup. He's got a great approach and a great swing.

That's like a hitter trying to get his first hit. Anytime you get that first something off your back, it relieves the pressure. Jason has outstanding stuff. All he needs now is to learn how to control that fastball. But, he'll get it down (because) he works hard and has a great attitude.

He did an outstanding job. He made pitches when he needed to, (showed) great mentality and made adjustments when he needed to.

This a great opportunity to be around the game. Obviously, there will be a little bit more responsibility. As (the) hitting coach (last season), I was kind of lurking in the shadows whereas the manager has to deal with hitters, the pitchers, the front office and the fans. It's a bigger responsibility, but one I accept and look forward to.
