Everyone teaches the mechanics or the mental side. Nobody teaches how to flip the switch.
When I started coaching, it was all swing, barely any mental.
Ten years in, I'm talking about the mental side 70% of the time.
The movements and positions matter, 100%. They always will, and they'll help the mental side too.
But it goes both ways.
The mental side makes your movements play better. More conviction, more belief behind them.
I used to figure if I cleaned up the swing, the rest would handle itself. It doesn't.
I've got guys with perfect mechanics who fall apart when the game speeds up, and guys with uglier swings who keep producing because they know how to handle themselves between the ears.
The switch is the part nobody trains.
Everybody drills the swing. Almost nobody drills when to push and when to trust it.
And the best ones don't flip it by accident. They know which mode they're in and they pick it.
Grind in the work. Trust in the box.
That's the separator. Not the talent.
The control over which side you're on.
> Save this where you'll see it for a reminder.
> Send it to a hitter who needs to learn how to flip the switch
And make sure you're following.

🚨 Andy Pettitte's Pickoff Move
• Mimic the tempo & movement of your delivery
• Don't try and "trick" the runner - less is more
⭐️ Mental cue is "Throw the ball home" but put your foot down at a 45 degree angle.
