He is a big-league ace in the making.” “He has no holes in his technique.” “There's a very tough pitch that moves, that strikes us all out. Is it a gyro? I don't know. I'll call it whatever you want.” “He wanted very much to get it right, always setting a high bar and trying to clear it. He worked hard. He has a special heart.” “When he’s right, he throws about 35 percent fastballs. That’s because he has other quality pitches he can throw for strikes.” “He comes from a background where they do things differently. For us to bang his head against the wall and say, ‘You’re going to do it this way,’ would be wrong.” "We all expected a lot ... and he's done nothing to come up short." "We were kind of rooting against him at the World Baseball Classic, hoping he wouldn't pitch too well because we didn't want his profile to rise even more." "It's hard to explain how popular he is. He's bigger than a rock star." "I think he understands what a great organization the Red Sox are." "He just really likes throwing a baseball." |
