And then when you do have success, you feel confident.
You feel like, yeah, of course I earned it.
I deserve it.
Yeah, I've had a lot of ups and downs throughout my career that some things were in my control and some were out of my control, like my injury last year.
I got in a collision with a shortstop that I never collided with an infielder, especially on a ground ball.
So he got the best of me.
He banged me up pretty good.
What was it?
It's a number of things.
I was rehabbing.
I had an oblique.
I missed the month.
And first rehab game, first ground ball, I was playing second, like a backhand up the middle.
Called it early, got a really good jump on it, honing in on it.
Basically, ball hits my glove and then the shortstop, I took his shoulder straight to my nose.
He fractured my nose and gave me a severe concussion.
I had a herniated disc in my back.
I had some hip and knee issues from the way he hit me.
I was kind of down on the knee.
The angle he hit me at, my head ended up hitting basically the back of my foot, my left foot.
