Tense team

[Ghostbear]

As an old, once upon a time baseball coach who focused on mechanics, it is very apparent that the Brewer hitters are pressing.  When you watch Yelich, Churio, Ortiz, even Turang today, they're all pressing. They're focusing too much on the big picture of the past games instead of staying in the moment. When that happens, their grip on the bat is tighter, their focus too much on the pitcher's motion rather than staying focused on the ball, thus, more chasing the ball, more strike outs, more pounding the ball into the ground.  The hitting coaches need to meet with them and talk to them about the following: 1-Relax and be in the moment, 2- focus on the ball Not the pitcher. From the time the pitcher gets the ball back, train your vision, thus your focus on the ball all the way beginning with the wind up, through the release point, so you can catch the spin on the ball, which will help you attack it with a level swing, 3- get your bat up, away from your body with relaxed muscles and relaxed grip, relaxed muscles are much faster than tense ones, 4- look for a pitch to drive, read the spin and movement, 5- practice smooth, level, swings that produce line drives. Then the hits will come, the runs will come, and confidence will come back. STOP PRESSING. STAY IN THE MOMENT.  FOCUS ON THE BALL. RELAX. LINE DRIVE SWINGS. HIT THE DAMN BALL.
