Carlos Delgado Ball Quotations

I haven't seen a ball hit that far in a long time. You've been working on your swing since you're 5 years old. This guy's a pitcher and he just hit it 700 feet. Whatever.

He threw the ball hard with a lot of sink to it. He throws hard, but has problems with his control.

Non-professionally, Cuba is one of the best teams in the world. Everyone hears about what a great reputation the Cuban ball club has. A lot of people want to see Cuba measure up against a professional team so that's going to draw a lot of attention. In Puerto Rico everybody is looking forward to the game against Cuba. I think it's all about bragging rights.

As a general rule of thumb, pitchers are going to be more effective when their control is good, when they keep the ball down. He's got good stuff. It's important for him and all the pitchers to throw strikes.

He's good with the bat. He'll run the ball out. It's almost like you're rooting for him because of his effort.

Come on, this is baseball, ... There is no job security here.

I'm a fastball hitter. It's no secret I'm looking for a fastball every pitch. I think it's one of the hardest things to do in sports-to hit a moving baseball.

I'm blessed with health and energy and passion for the game of baseball, and also to help children.

I'm a baseball player, I'm not a political activist.
