“It's how I feel at the plate and what pitches I'm taking. I'm looking at what pitches I don't swing at. The numbers in spring don't mean anything. I'm not even mentally into it. I'm just going through the motions until April.”
Eric Chavez
“Megan pitched very well. We're getting our swings at the plate. Morris and Conner both are swinging well. It makes it tough on opposing pitchers if we continue to hit well.”
Tim Ricci
“What they showed me today was a great job of having discipline at the plate. They weren't swinging at pitches out of the zone.”
Cynthia Zea
“After the game the plate umpire said Valle was around the plate with every pitch. He pitched well, especially for the climate.”
Rick Mitchell
“He finally realized that if he didn't swing at pitches off the plate, the pitchers would have to come to him. When that happens, he just kills them. You have to make the pitchers make adjustments, not the other way around.”
Chipper Jones
“I didn't want to leave an off-speed pitch over the plate. He'd hit two off-speed pitches out. But, I expected to close today.”
Wynn Pelzer
“It wasn't a bad pitch at all. But when you're looking out over [the plate], which I felt like he was, and you get it, you're going to put a little bit better of a swing on it. He's a good hitter. If I get it two, three inches down, maybe he doesn't do it.”
