Said manager Gabe Kapler: "I think if he was thinking about making the team, if he had no pressure on him, if he was in double-A, if he was in the World Series, you'd see the same thing out of Scott Kingery. The same exact approach to the game. The talent would still shine. He's just got that unique special makeup that you don't find very often. I do think he's a smart kid and he understands a lot of what's going on around him. Nothing discourages him. He's got laser-sharp focus on the step right in front of him and that is the at-bat or the play in the field. He just wants an opportunity to shine and we're giving him an opportunity to shine and he's shining."
