It's my first time throwing out a first pitch. There are no nerves, though. I'm ready to go.

It's been busy,.. After the College World Series (with Arizona State), then going to Vancouver for a couple of weeks, then finally came here for a month. It's unbelievable for my first professional season. The good thing is it's not done yet, but I enjoyed my time at Kane County.

I worked out with him because he's a local kid. He's a quiet kid. When told what to do, he'll do it. He reminds me of Erik Averill (a 20th-round selection by the Tigers last year) because he has that changeup.

There are a lot of factors when it's been raining. You have to be a little cautious.
I'm not saying I would have gotten another home run but maybe I could have kept it going.
