The 22-year old left-hander said that it’s the skill that matters, and not only the physical attributes of a player. He was fully confident that he deserved the pick. His confidence was supported by his gleaming statistics and achievements at UCLA.

I’m just looking forward to the challenge. It’s the next step.”
