Can't wait for my son to get home so he can watch this. He just asked me about this topic on the way home from hockey practice last night. Thanks!

What can i do in games and practice to make sure i stay consistent. Especially if i usually start the season ok and then just can't do anything right after a few weeks and in until it ends

baseball is a game of ups and downs. Refine your routines and focus and your performances will be as consistent as they can be (for you, that is)

Hitters can rarely do better than break 1 in 3 against a pitcher who throws snappy strikes. Study ADHD types. They have the ability to hyper-focus like they have ice water in their veins. (You know "clear the mechanism") And be lazy. Force the batter to try and put the ball in play - it will make your defense attentive and buck up and get the putout.

Some players perform better in games. The higher the pressure the better. All a coach can do is detect this rare gift - but when you find it you got yourself a champion and a sure fire first place finish to your season. Take any game where you are losing bad and your pitching has melted down. Ask for volunteers to pitch. Pick the kid with a decent arm who is kind of a goof ball and/or dreamer/fidgeter - the guy who looks like the last player you would pick to pitch. If the kid happily takes the mound unconcerned and your assistant coaches are groaning you are on the scent.

some players may perform well - but not a single player performs better in games than in practice. It's just a matter of how large the delta between practice and games is.
