Everyone trains the body. Fewer train the mind.
At the highest levels of baseball, talent and mechanics start to even out. What often separates players is the ability to stay composed, bounce back, and perform under pressure.
Mental performance is not about being “tough.” It’s about training focus, breathing, routines, and mindset the same way you train pitching mechanics or strength.
Questions for you:
- Do you currently use any type of pre-game or pre-pitch routine?
- What do you do in the moment when nerves or frustration kick in?
- If your mental game improved 10%, how would that impact your performance on the field?
Drop your answers in the comments. Let’s make this thread a place where we actually share strategies, routines, and even struggles.
