The hitter who thinks the most isn’t the best hitter.
Most guys step in the box and start running a checklist.
Stay back. Hands inside. Don’t pull off.
By the time the pitch leaves the hand, they’re already behind both mentally and physically.
Here’s the truth: your brain is too slow for a 90mph fastball.
You have roughly 400 milliseconds from release to contact. Conscious thought takes 300+ to process and execute. The math doesn’t work.
The hitters who rake aren’t the ones thinking harder. They’re the ones who’ve trained enough to stop thinking altogether.
See ball. Attack ball.
