"I give a lot of credit to the managers and coaches that I've had this past year, the staff overall for the Orioles, because they give you a very strong sense of freedom to be your own player. And that's pretty unique, because for kids who are just becoming part of a system are often given guidelines and rules that you need to follow to earn your way. [The Orioles] just say, 'Have at it, try to be the best player you can and never back down.' So that was a good feeling to have and almost you want to take pride in that because you don't want to let anyone down or especially let yourself down by pulling up short."

That's pretty neat. A good way to respect a young man. If there is a trip or falter, then you adjust the message slightly. Different sports world out there. I like it.

Only took me one game at Bowie to fall in love with him. Before that, I figured he was riding the coattails of a famous father's pedigree, but now firmly in his fan club.
