The Biggest Mental Mistake in the game of baseball is being afraid to be a winner. There is nothing worse. Playing not to lose will eventually lead to losing. It’s just the way it goes. When you lack conviction and play with fear, nothing, and I mean nothing will go your way. Therefore, on the topic of being a Fearless Warrior while standing on the mound, Let’s look at a true game changer that will separate you and expose your strengths amongst the competition…. Throwing the Slider with a Runner on 3B

When in Doubt, COMPETE!!!
If you are unsure what to throw a hitter in any given spot, challenge him. Make him hit the ball. Either see how far he can hit it, or how he can get himself out. Aggressively pound the zone and everyone can deal with the outcome. When you compete, you show the hitter that he has to match you. And work even harder to beat you. Obviously, the odds are in your favor as a pitcher. So naturally, it is a no brainer to compete in order to fulfill the superiority.
However, we are humans on the mound. We may be indecisive, jittery, or just not feeling it that day. Therefore, When your mind tells your body to compete, that all disappears and the task at hand is the sole focus. Again, Aggressively make pitches. That is how outs are recorded. Simple as that.

When you get into a groove on the mound and everything clicks, enjoy it! Not only that, stay in the moment and keep doing your thing.
It is a heightened level of performance on which you are operating. The factors that brought you to this pinnacle are nothing out of the ordinary. Preparation, both physical and mental, as well as focus.
The ability to Focus on the task at hand, making 1 pitch at a time, is your main purpose everytime you step on the mound and engage the rubber. That is all that matters. As it’s all that you can control.
Oftentimes, you will see a pitcher take a shut out into the 8th and then the wheels fall off. Now barring any physical decline, how can one attest to this?

On this Thanksgiving, let’s take a break from the offseason training to reflect upon what we are grateful for in this life. Both on the field and off. In this day of the technological age, judgement occurs more than ever. Thus it is important to be grateful for your character. It is something that no one can ever take away from you. No matter how hard they try, only you can alter it.
As it is November, this is the time to build up strength and skills towards a DOMINANT 2019. Since there is no competition going on right now, contemplation upon teachable moments from last season I am sure are entering your thought process regularly.
Even the worst of the worst experiences have a silver lining to them. That is the charm of this great game. The feedback speaks volumes. In both short and long term effects. Everything from an immediate in game adjustment to a situation which may occur 5 years down the road…and everything in between. Sure winning is more fun and it is why you play the game. However, you learn a lot more about yourself from losing.

As I was ranting to myself aloud about all the nonsense being spewed on Twitter, I decided to turn on the camera and make it documented. In this long winded, off the cuff video, I share some of the things bothering me with today's game. Mainly, lack of respect for the hierarchy of this great game.

Congrats to Washington Nationals on winning the 2019 World Series!!!
In this video, we are going to break down the final at bat. The 27th out of the 7th game of the 115th Fall Classic. And a big shout out to Daniel Hudson here. The right handed reliever is not getting the publicity accustomed to the one who has the glory of recording the last out of the World series. Mainly, because he is overshadowed by Scherzer and Strasburg. Nonetheless, Hudson got the party started from deep in the heart of Texas to the Nation’s Capital. And he is going to be honored in this video breakdown today.
One of the biggest things that impressed me with this outing, is the fact that Hudson first started warming up in the 7th inning. And when he came into the game, it was no longer a save situation. These 2 factors can add up to a potential disaster in the 9th inning. Hudson kept himself mentally ready to peak when he was in the middle of the diamond to get the last 3 outs...and he did in DOMINANT FASHION!!!
Facing the top of the order, George Springer popped up and Altuve was blown away on 3 pitches. Up comes Michael Brantley. The Astros leading hitter in the regular season. Who only struck out a mere 66 times!!! That's unheard of nowadays...
First Pitch Fastball DOWN & IN for a ball at 96. Moved his feet. Keep that in mind.
1-0 PAINT!!! 96, outside corner on the knees. Can't throw it any better
1-1 Slider missed inside at 87. Moved his feet again
2-1 Challenge HIM! CHALLENGE HIM!!!! Fastball DOWN & IN at 96. Home run distance, foul. Challenge him! 2 outs with a 4 run lead. A solo homer is not deflating. Even a non issue.
2-2 Catcher Gomes wants the fastball up. Hudson misses down and in at 97. Again moves his feet
3-2 Fastball, 96 AWAY. That pitch was hittable. Brantley put a good swing on it. The fact that Hudson moved his feet 3 times this at bat, creates a hesitation in diving out over the plate. The fastball in on the long foul ball was a reaction to turn on. When you move a hitter’s hands, hips, or feet, you are expanding the outer part of the plate, immensely!!! You have so much more to work with out here because of this indecision factor.
3-2 again
Let the Party Begin!!!!!!
Hudson buried him DOWN & IN with the Slider! That's where you gotta put it when it is righty on lefty. I showed that execution by Max Scherzer in depth in a recent video from the postseason.
This at bat was a great display of pitching IN & OUT. So many sequences today are of the UP & DOWN variety. IN & OUT is a timeless tactic which, when executed properly, will consistently get out quality hitters.
Congrats to the Nationals and I salute you Daniel Hudson!

Know Thyself
Every player comes to a point in their career when they have to decide the best route for themselves. Whether it be changing positions, selecting a college program, deciding to sign a pro contract or go/stay in college, among many others.
It’s done to maximize his playing time while helping the team. Sometimes one has to swallow their pride and accept reality. Other times, it creates a natural, seamless transition. Possibly, even a hidden upgrade to a career. Regardless of the path that needs to be taken, in baseball and in life. Know thyself.
Know your strengths, your weaknesses. What you bring to the table and what you need to clean up. Also, know when you are not challenged enough, as well as being overmatched. Know what you personally need to do in order to improve. When you figure it out and put in the work towards each goal, drill deeper, not wider. DEEPER. It's vital. That’s how you attain the optimal results in your craft.
As a pitcher know your personal attributes. Durability, endurance, relisancy, mentality, pitch arsenal and the situations where you thrive. These all come into play in finding the role that is best for you.

How often should you throw each pitch? This has changed drastically at the BIG LEAGUE Level. As some of the game’s best are throwing their fastball under 50% of the time! The factors that enable this are physical durability and their insane ability to consistently command 3-4 pitches.
As a high school aged pitcher and even in college, you have to learn how to pitch with your fastball. Establish the heater and everything comes off of that. When you want to climb the ladder in this great game, you have to build a solid foundation.
I will be the first to tell you NOT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR SLIDER!!!
I have seen many HS pitchers fall in love with their breaking balls only to bring on disaster!!! When pitchers have not yet developed the physical maturity to throw a breaking ball over and over, the arm will drag and fall under the ball. What does that mean??? You are throwing the dreaded cement mixer to the plate. Those get hit hard and far!!! To make matters worse, TOMMY JOHN will come a calling, amongst other arm ailments. So be smart in your pitch selection and listen to your body. If you have a spot where you have to throw a hitter 3-4 straight breaking balls, OK. GO with it. Don’t make a habit of it. Because you already have him thinking as he goes into his next at bat against you. Your biggest challenge at this point is locating the fastball to start the next at bat.
Many MLB organizations limit their top prospects to pitch with only fastball and change up for the first few years in the minors. For one, to keep their arms fresh and secondly, to learn how to pitch. Creating the foundation is everything. When you add in devastating movement to that solid combo, naturally, the results will dramatically increase.
There is no set plan or template to follow. Each pitcher is individual and unique. The days when one pitch feels better and/or is more effective than the rest, you will run with it til they force you to make an adjustment. However, when in doubt, throw your fastball. You will be amazed how many hitters will find a way to get themselves out.
Keep Dominating!!!
