I just want to be that role model that the kids can look up to, and say, 'I want to be like him. I want to be just like Mookie Betts.'

I've been playing golf for a little while and I can't get over the 85 hump. It doesn't matter how good or bad I shoot on one side, I'm going to end up around 85.

It's an honor and a blessing to be part of 'R.B.I. Baseball.'

My favorite TV show is probably 'Power.'

Sports is just something I have a knack to figure out how to play.

I don't care about the home runs as much as just being consistent and RBIs.

You have to have sound mechanics to repeat the same delivery each time. That's the hard part. Since I don't bowl all the time I'm not consistent with my mechanics.

You weigh your pros and cons and what's real. You want to play baseball? Yeah. You want to go to school? If that's the best option, than that is what it is.

I'm playing for the Red Sox, and I don't think there's anybody out here who's going to intentionally hurt you. So you listen to information, and you kind of filter what you like and take out what you don't.

Whatever the team takes, whatever it needs, I try to fill that role.

I want to play every day and help the team get to where we want to be.

You score runs to win games. That's how you do it.

I think I've tried to have a platform to speak and to help kids understand learning about baseball.

The pitcher is in trouble, not me. He has to throw it over the plate and I have to put a good swing on it.

You never want to lose a strength, but I've also got to try and be a complete hitter.

I think the most important thing is that World Series.

I'm not a big country guy even though I'm from Nashville. I like some songs, but I wouldn't turn on a country radio station or anything.

I always listen to music.

I guess bowling is pretty mechanical. It's kind of a natural motion, but you have to stick within those mechanics.

I wouldn't say I'm a commodity. I try not to think about it too much.

We play to win the World Series, and that's our goal.

I just try to do whatever I can to win the game.

Yeah, there's always room for improvement.

Everything I played, I kind of found a way to be pretty good at. My mom always said, 'If you're not good at something, then don't do it.'

I think my senior year in high school was when I started wearing Jordans. It was our team rule that we had to play in them so that's when I got - not introduced to them, but got into it. Through the minors I started collecting some, just to wear, and that's when I told myself I want to become a Jordan athlete and did all I could to do it.

I'm just trying to affect the game in some way whenever I get an opportunity. If that's stealing a base, making a catch, beating out a double play, whatever it may be.

I just kind of want to be me.

I try and affect the game in every way.

I've been blessed with everything I have, and I might as well share it.

I'm confident in my abilities and confident to know what kind of player I am. I've also been educated on the business side of it, getting your value.

Some people kind of get lost in what everyone else is doing and not pay attention to themselves, and I think I'm one where I pay attention to myself and can set the example for the people coming up.

It's kind of tough as you're playing you kind of wonder what is going to happen to you as you go through arbitration or as you go through free agency.

Even though this is a business you do have people here that you're with every day, like your family. You want to go play for them and you want to win with them. You have to find a way to do that but understand that there is a business side to it. You have to find a way to understand.

Just because you go to free agency doesn't mean you don't want to be somewhere. It's just a part of the business.

I'm not a huge vocal guy.

I like leading by example.

No matter what I say, people are going to have their opinions and there is nothing I can do about that.

I grew up in bowling alleys.

Every year you go in and you obviously want to win a World Series, at least make the playoffs.

Even in the minor leagues, I just said I'll get my little bit of time in here and then get out of here. I was going to try, though. I wasn't going to just give up. I was always going to try. I'm here. I figured I might as well try.

The more Opening Days the better. It never gets old. It's one of those things where as it comes you embrace it, get ready, you still get those butterflies, which means you care.

When you just stand for something, you kind of stand for it.

I don't hit home runs in BP.

Every game I'm out there, we're all trying to affect the game in some way.

You don't want to sell yourself short.

Five World Series rings, 3000-plus hits, the fame, the fortune and playing for the second most historic franchise in baseball... These are just some of the reasons kids would always say they want to grow up to be just like Derek Jeter.

I can't speak on anybody else's free agencies, how that's going, but for myself, it helps to kind of be patient and let it happen.

Pretty much all bowlers are nice dudes.

Fastball middle-middle. You can't miss that pitch.
