Quotes from J. D. Martinez

If I'm ready to hit early, if I get fooled, then whatever. I've still got two more strikes.

When you're up there and everything feels good and you're competing against the pitcher and the pitcher strikes you out, you're like, 'OK, yeah, I struck out, but that's OK.'

I was able to play alongside, in my opinion, the best hitter with Miguel Cabrera and kind of watch the way he goes about it and the way he looks at situations, when to try to drive a ball versus when to shoot a ball.

I think the one thing I have learned the most from all the veteran guys is kinda like not to dwell on a loss or a bad day.

I get to play what I dreamed about since I was a kid. So, on that end, I love it. But I also take pride in it.

I wish I could go up every single time and have guys on base.
