Better Bat Contact

THE EYES CAN DELIVER!! This season, a Double A player called for help. After one telephone consulting session with him, he increased his batting average from .180 to about .250 in a short time, but had reached a plateau. According to him, he was missing too many pitches that he felt he should be hitting. My analysis was that his eyes were not always under control while swinging. The next game this player went 2-4, with a double, a triple, an r.b.i. and a run scored against a pitcher with a 1.59 e.r.a. The team had only five total hits.
What did I tell him? The eyes must be relaxed and focused only on the ball. If the eyes are not in control, then the body does not know exactly where the bat is supposed to be swung. The body can do a great job with proper guidance from the eyes. HEAD GAMES techniques are simple to use and the success stories are astounding. Choose to maximize your performance!
