The Mental Side of Hitting

The first thing you should notice is whether the pitcher is right handed or left handed (this tells you which direction his breaking balls will be moving, and more).

In the first post called The Mental side of Hitting: Attainable Goals, we talked about how we as hitters are searching for consistency in the batter’s box.

Instead of tying our success to how many hits we are getting, having achievable, repeatable objectives (we’re calling them “attainable goals”) will help our consistency and keep our emotions in check.
