Dontrelle Wayne Willis (born January 12, 1982), nicknamed "The D-Train", is an American professional baseball pitcher. Willis is notable for his success during his first few years in the league and for his unconventional pitching style, which includes a high leg kick and exaggerated twisting away from the batter. Willis was named the 2003 National League Rookie of the Year.
I know about having days off. They can be helpful sometimes, especially late in the year. It's just key to go out there and establish early, especially in this park where they can put up some crooked numbers early.
Individual statistics are fine and dandy, but it's lonely out there. You want to share with the 24 other guys that helped you be successful.
I was nervous batting eighth, and I was nervous batting seventh.
Struggling Willis hopes to rejoin Tigers in 2008
