“I’m one of the very few returning pitchers, so holding that chip on my shoulder, I definitely want to go out there…set an example, the example that we set last year, whenever we made it all the way to the championship. Just continuing throughout this year, and of course, just helping the team, helping the guys. There's eight guys out there depending on me every night, so going out there, and then giving it my all for those eight guys, I’m looking forward to it.”
Prior to Walter Ford’s first Opening Day start as a professional, the “Vanilla Missile” spoke to me about his goals for the season and life as a pitcher in a Seattle Mariners farm system that is one of the best at developing young arms in recent years.
