Nico: There’s a couple things that intrigue me about you. One thing is, your contact rates are pretty elite, actually, basically rarely striking out. And I’m curious, first of all, if that’s a skill where you can point to something and say "this is how I do it"? Because let’s face it, most minor leagues players, even with great pedigree, don’t have the contact skills that you have. How do you do that?

Schrock: (laughs) It’s probably just more of a mindset. I take striking out very personal; I don’t like to do it at all.
