August 1st coming sooner and sooner, this young man’s phone better be ringing off the hook.

The epitome of what you look for in a player ready for the next level. Great person, great family, no one will out work him, highest IQ on the field.

Currently hitting an absurd .552 on the year with a .639 OBP and 1.501 OPS.

I worked with a D1 player and a D3 player this morning.

On paper...

They looked almost identical.

6'4 200 pounds...

Both had elite bat speed. Both had power. Both were physically gifted.

But there was one difference.

Every time the D3 player mishit a ball...

He complained.
He got frustrated.
He pouted.

Then he'd struggle for the next 3 or 4 swings.

Pop-up.
Ground ball.
Weak contact.

The D1 player?

He'd mishit one.

Make an adjustment

...And move on.

No emotion.
No drama.
Just the next pitch.

It reminded me of something I learned playing professional baseball...

Sometimes the biggest difference between two players isn't their talent.

It's the conversation they're having with themselves in their head after they fail.

Your bat speed matters.
Your swing matters.

But the operating system between your ears matters just as much.

The best hitters I've been around don't waste energy explaining why they failed.

They spend their energy figuring out what to do on the next pitch.

- Jermaine Curtis

P.S. The next time you mishit a ball, don't ask, "What's wrong with me?"

Ask, "What's my adjustment?"

P.P.S. - If you enjoyed this, and thought it was helpful, share it.

(It tells me you want more content like this)

‘28 1B/OF/RHP Braylon Benson (OH) leads off with a 2B, steals third, and scores on a WP, showcasing advanced instincts on the bases. Big leg kick and connected load create a compact, explosive swing. #WWBAOV @ReleaseBaseball @2028_bzb

Another productive weekend with @NCCrushers14u. It was rain shortened, but we played well and we are growing as a team. I had a good weekend at the plate, and I battled on the mound (still working on some mechanical tweaks), the changeup was good 😊. @PaduaBruinsSB @SBRRetweets @IHartFastpitch @ExtraInningSB @SoftbalAmerica @SoftballDown @PrepSoftball @d1fastpitch1 @CoastRecruitsSB @LineDsoftball @Softball_Home

That’s not Willie Mays in right field. That is Ben Babinec from @WJHS_Baseball robbing Jack Ziarko of extra bases.
