Avery Patterson
What do you eat to stay energized?
I sweat a lot in Houston, so I have to eat a lot of electrolyte-rich foods. I eat pickles, salt bagels, and salty pretzels.
Do you have any superstitions?
I tape my pinky finger before every game, because it’s a tradition I like to carry with me from the University of North Carolina.
