Danny Worth has only been in the Majors for two seasons, but has shown a lot of promise. He’s a player to watch in the years to come. Worth–current third baseman for the Detroit Tigers–took the time recently to answer some of my questions:

1.) At what age did you first become interested in baseball?

I started playing at the age of 5. I became interested in becoming pro when I was 12. Baseball was always my first love growing up.

2.) Did you play any other sports growing up?

I played all major sports growing up until I was 14. Played baseball year round from the age of 9-on.

3.) Describe what your Major League debut was like.

My ML debut was everything I expected it to be and more. It was an unreal feeling when my major goal in life was accomplished. I loved it.

4.) What pitch do you find hardest to hit?

The pitch I find hardest to hit would be a couple: backdoor curve from LHP, and a backdoor sinker from a RHP.

5.) How different were the play offs from regular season ball?

The playoff atmosphere was a lot of fun to be apart of. The players keep it the same more or less, but the fans bring a lot more intensity.

6.) Favorite food?

A nice filet mignon, medium rare.

7.) Favorite sport besides baseball?

Football.

8.) Favorite T.V. show?

All time- Seinfeld. Right now- Survivor.

9.) Favorite shoe brand?
