🚨 Paul Skenes: Mental Toughness

• No excuse to not believe in yourself
• It’s never as good as you think it is
• It’s never as bad as you think it is

⭐️ You can’t solely rely on others to keep you motivated - be your biggest cheerleader & your most objective critic.

Pitchers, here are some things that can separate you from the rest…

• Change-Ups in FB counts.
• 3-2 Change-Ups.
• Unpredictable first pitches.
• Off speed pitches behind in the count.
• Fake shakes.
• Quick tempo.
• Slide step Change-Ups (slide step with no one on base).
• Multiple pitch types for put away pitches.
• Ability to throw your FB inside off the plate on purpose.
• Knowing when you can pitch on the corners and when you need to attack the middle.
• Command the inside part of the zone.
• Take pride in controlling the running game.
• Goal of ZERO walks every time out there.

Easier said than done but if you can get to the point where all of these are part of your game, you will be a different type of competitor than what we tend to see in young arms (yes, even HS and college arms are considered young to us old guys).

Dan Campbell said …”belief comes from the work that you put in.”

There are no other secrets to success.

- Success is about Grit.
- Success is about Work Ethic.
- Success is about Consistency.
