What they’re saying

“Probably his ability to slow it down (has helped him the most), he's learned how to slow the game down a little more now. You look, he can get a little antsy at times at the plate, trying to do too much. I think what you're seeing is him maturing as a hitter. Knowing what success is for each individual guy is really hard. Daniel's so strong, he can hit a ball 108, and we all go, ooh, it's 108. But he knows when he's having success at the plate. Sometimes for him, being able to go backside as he did there, that last at bat, it'd only be 90. That's success for him. He didn't always know that. I think those are things that are really helping him.”
