He's a very quiet and humble young man. The kids rally behind him because he's a very rare athlete. He's one of a kind, really.

We faced a quality pitcher, the best pitcher we've faced all year, but our guy was pretty good, too.

You can't make that call in a game like this. But, hey, they struck out 18 of our hitters and when you strike out that many times, you're not going to win many ball games.

You're talking about a young man who potentially is one of the best pitchers in the United States at any level. I think he's handling it better than any 17-year old anywhere would. He's a humble kid.
