Pico general notes
That pitcher was a freshman and was hitting 78-80. Pretty hard this early in the season and he was pretty effortless which makes the ball get on you because you don't expect it to be that hard.
He had a solid curveball (through a dirty dirty toDanny) but did not have control.
He did not ONCE attempt a pick off move.
We need to try to get that out of him. Early in the game - from the stretch - he was S L O W t home plate. He did start slide-stepping in the latter innings. Their catcher has a hose.

Body Language + Five-Second Rule
down 100, up 100. Keep the same body language. The next play is coming to you, you'll have a chance - regardless of score - to make a great play.
"act as if" - there's a scene from a iconic movie I'd need a permission slip from your parents to share, but it's true
Body Language + short memory + Act as If
Make an error - erase it - next play is a gem
walk a guy - erase it - get the next one
Strike out - erase it - next ab
Mentally - if you feel defeated, that is internal. We can "act as if" and bring you out of that by confident body language. We can discuss this in practice.
Having a crappy day (not just on the field, but in general)?
Smile it out of you. I swear, even if something bad is going on, if you smile it triggers your brain to help get you into a better place - same is with body language on the field.
Five-Second Rule explained by J-Lo’s ex 😂.
fr fr, A-Rod has one of the best baseball minds in the game. ☠️🫏
Things we'd need to work on
hitting faster pitching off the machine
hitting curveballs off the machine
two-strike hitting approach
catching fly balls with two hands
BUNT defense + knowing where you are going
pick offs to 2nd base
both from the pitcher’s move (see below)
and the activity from the middle infielders
