If your not applying the pressure your feeling it:
- This game is not won by the timid, you must set the tone of each situation by being aggressive and opportunistic. If you are a pitcher you must establish the strike zone early and fill it up. As hitters you should be aggressive early in the count by swinging at good pitches up in the zone, there is something to be said for a good cut that fouls the ball directly behind the plate. When a pitcher sees a hitter take a good hack at one of his pitches it affects him and will cause the pitcher to tighten up his strike zone.
Pitchers, never give a hitter to much credit:
- Even hall of fame hitters failed 70% of the time when they came to the plate. Hitters are good at getting themselves out so fill it up and set the tone for each at bat. Not only are hitters good at getting themselves out but there are also 7 defenders behind you looking to get hitters out as well, the odds are in your favor so play your odds.
