My average against hitters is pretty good.

I can throw strikes any time.

Kids used to say stuff all the time about how I was different.

I want to remind people with dogs that they are your responsibility.

I don't want to be in the clubhouse, if I have the coronavirus or something like that, coming into the clubhouse and spread to everybody, that's not good, right?

I want to become the type of pitcher any one in the world can say is the world's best pitcher.

I am a baseball player and I enjoy getting batters out and that is what I want to continue doing.

I almost feel like I grew up and was raised in America now, because I'm so comfortable here.

Since coming to the major leagues, my passion toward baseball had started to decrease.

Personally, do I feel like an All-Star? I don't think so.

When I look at my numbers, I don't give up a lot of hits.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I can bring a 10 to any important game.

I'm never satisfied until I win all the games and have an ERA of 0.00.

I don't need much motivation.

I talk to Kyle Hendricks a lot.

It is my biggest regret that I gave up 10 runs on my last outing as a Ranger.

Major league hitters have more power. But Japanese hitters are very good at making contact. I don't like either.

Even if I was tipping my pitches, I could have thrown pitches good enough to not be hit.

When a player cheats, you can't have a gold medal, right?
