Episode 52 - Coach RAC Discusses How You Can Raise Your Batting Average

Welcome back to another episode of RAC's Corner! In today's episode, Coach RAC Discusses How You Can Raise Your Batting Average.
How I Raised my Batting Average from .220 to .340
Part of it has been luck, but part of it has been my mental approach over these last few weeks that has taken my batting average from .220 to .340 for the Savannah Bananas.
The first thing to keep in mind here is that batting average is not the main goal. This is obviously the most popular stat for a hitter, yet it is not always a good representation of success at the plate. During my time batting .220, I was still having great at-bats, and still hitting a lot of balls hard. SO if you feel like you are in a slump, the first question you should ask yourself is "Am I hitting balls hard?" If the answer is yes, then DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING BIG. You are not in a REAL slump, you just are getting unlucky.
In this instance, the only major change I made at the plate was imagining that BP is the game, and imagining that the game is BP. When I was taking batting practice I would try and place game-like pressure on myself and I practiced what my mental approach would be in the game (hit the inner half of the ball). While during the REAL game, I would imagine that I was just taking batting practice off the pitcher, and I was hunting the inner half of the baseball. As simple as it sounds, this made all the difference! I didn't make any mechanical changes!
As always, Let's Grow!
