My favorite part (of the game) is knowing that they're comfortable, knowing that, no matter

living his dream.

every day and being there for my pitchers. I really want to be known more as a

the field, I take a lot of pride in what I do at the plate, but I take a lot
more pride in what I do behind the plate.
