Baseball Hitter's Top 10 Checklist1.) Think and assess the situation BEFORE entering the Batter’s box. 2.) Relax and deep breaths (oxygen to the brain and muscles) as you dig in. 3.) Never speak or exchange words with the catcher. Dismiss him in your mind. 4.) Soft focus on the pitcher’s hat until the baseball appears in release window… switch! 5.) Your approach should be “YES, YES, YES” on every pitch, be prepared to hit every pitch! Let your eyes and body tell you “NO”. 6.) Treat every first pitch like a 2-0. Expect fastball down the middle and attack it! 7.) No matter the count.. ALWAYS expect fastball. ADJUST to off-speed 8.) Step out after each pitch… deep breaths… think “accurate barrel”… back to soft focus. 9.) Don't Swing to Hit it Hard.. Swing to Hit it PURE!! 10.) ALWAYS BELIEVE YOU CAN! !!!! |
