Really, it's not harder to train for them because once baseball starts you play everyday almost.
I'll never worry about not being successful. I'll just take it one day at a time, one season at a time. And play as hard as I can.
I wanted to stay close enough so mom could see me play - where I could go home if I needed to.
I was always an Alabama fan growing up, but when the Alabama recruiter told me I would probably not be able to play until the end of my sophomore year, or the beginning of my junior year.
My confidence and drive to go play came when I realized how gifted I was at such a young age and how much bigger my build was than the kids my age.
