  • Mental Approach to Hitting
    Mental Approach to Hitting Hitting begins in the dugout (Phase 1), continues into the on-deck circle (Phase 2) and into the box (Phase 3). Almost every hitting coach feels the same about one point: Thinking and planning occur during Phase 1 and Phase 2, but never during Phase 3. The batters box should be a non-thinking zone, you clear your head of all thoughts, except "see the ball - hit the ball". On the Bench - In the Hole You should study the pitcher in the dugout, learn her routine, her strikeout pitch, and especially how often she throws the off speed. Look for any tips that might tell you when a specific pitch is coming. Most pitchers tip their pitches. Be observant. In the On-Deck Circle—Final Preparation Then develop a routine for the on deck circle. Make it a consistent routine that allows you to relax and prepare both mentally and physically to face the pitcher. Visualization could be part of your preparation both in the dugout and in the on deck circle. A) The hitter should know the scoreboard (score, outs, runners on base). B) The hitter should watch the pitcher’s release point. Does it change on different pitches? C) The hitter should know the pitcher’s second best pitch—her most consistent pitch besides her fastball. D) The hitter should become a coach at home plate if necessary. Two of the USA’s top Olympic hitters have specific routines they go through in the on deck circle. Kim Maher, a former All-American at Fresno State is one of the most dangerous hitters in the game today.
