I'm not a big believer in vitamins and all that stuff.

Physical therapy is part of my offseason routine. That has helped me greatly.

Your body is not made to throw like we throw. That's why you see softball pitchers pitching two or three games a day. It's a natural movement in softball. In baseball it's not a natural movement.
