Anthony Rizzo has started the season on the right foot, but the first baseman isn't content.

The Cubs first baseman has established himself as one of the best playing in the National League, but there are still some facets of his game that he wants to improve upon.

“I don't ever want to be one-dimensional,” Rizzo told CSN Chicago. “I don't ever want to be just a hitter. I want to do it all. That's how we lead this team by example. We go first-to-third. We break up the double play. We run out groundballs that we're pissed at.

“If we (don't) all do (it), no one's going to do it. It's just about doing everything – all the little things. Everyone wants to just put the emphasis on hitting and fielding, but it's all the other things, too, that go into being a complete player and a complete team.”
