In my opinion, the mental aspect of baseball is the most important single factor to success. Everybody can throw a ball or hit a ball to some degree. Yes, working on mechanics is important and will help with improvement. BUT, if a player does not believe they will succeed in a situation, they won't. I have seen players with terrible mechanics decide that they will hit the ball or make a play and they have against good pitchers and teams. I have also seen players with great mechanics who were very athletic let self-doubt sneak in and they failed miserably because of if. Here are a few baseball videos focused on mental training and visualization.

Hitting drills and information. There is a lot that goes in to hitting that you can work on. However, at the end of the day, the majority of your success is mental. I recommend paying particular attention to the on deck (and in the hole) routine and practicing the mental attitude that every pitch is going to be a strike and you are going to swing. That way the only adjustment decision you will have to make is not to swing if it is a ball. As always, listen to your body and don't hurt yourself. Finally, remember these are just ideas, find what works best for you and go with it.

This page will provide a list of links and pictures with baseball drills and information as well as general athletic workout ideas you can do during while our seasons are suspended. If you can only do one thing during our off time, play catch and condition your arm. If we wind up having a season this year, there will be limited time to condition arms, so the you do while we are away, the more effective our teams will be. As always, follow state and federal policies being implemented during this time and abide by the guidance of the medical agencies as they try to deal with this COVID-19 outbreak.
