I had faith in the Mets and I had faith in my advisors. I knew it could get done. Once you're assured of that, it's no big deal being patient.
adjustment biggest college good guys sit threw
The biggest adjustment is that guys up here have a plan. Guys in college just go up there and swing. Most guys in college just sit on the fastball. I threw some good pitches. I feel like I'm progressing right where I need to be.

I've thought about it. It's going to be a challenge coming from the flatlands to the city, but it's definitely something I can adjust to. I'm looking forward to it.

Right now, I'm just trying to get acquainted with people, everything and the whole situation.

I threw him all fastballs away, but I just kept missing. I just didn't hit the spot. I still have a lot to learn.

He's been great to be around. But it still seems a little funny.

The strike zone can be a little small some days. You have to adjust. I didn't do a good job adjusting today.
