Mindset of a Hitter: At a certain point, you got to make that switch mentally in your mind: I'm not going to lose a f**king pitch today. I don't care who's on the mound. I don't care what happened yesterday. We can talk till we're blue in the face about mechanics, swing path, mindset, vertical barrel, setup, and all these different things. You have to mentally make a CHOICE I'm not losing a pitch. I'm going to war with the mechanics I got. I'm good enough because I write it down, because I believe it. I got enough to win right now, and that's all I need. At a certain point, I just go up in there and I compete. A competitive, gritty mindset that refuses to lose a pitch, even when you know you don't feel your best mechanically and something's off: you just refuse to be late all day and just see what happens. If you continue to go up there and, "Oh, I don't know, I'm feeling for it, man," feelings will get you killed. Feelings will get you killed. You got to make a choice: I'm not losing a pitch today, and if I do lose one, f**k it, I'm not losing the next one. Over and over and over and over again. This is a mindset that you make before you get to the field. Every single day, you have to make a choice to kill the mediocre, passive version of you. I know there's a combination of "I'm enough, I got what it takes," yes, self-compassion, gratitude, absolutely. I am so thankful for this day. Now let's go kill whatever I got in front of me. That's what it takes.
