When Corey is really good, it's up the middle, the other way, and then he'll hit a pull-side home run. He's just such a good hitter. Nobody works as hard as Corey at his craft. It's just a matter of time before he gets going.”

“Corey, you can tell that he's grinding for some stuff, for sure,”“It feels like he's just about to get hot. He's just one of those guys where at any moment, it's going to break through.
