GAME DAY“Talent without discipline is like an octopus
on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.”
- H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Pace: Maximizing Time & Repetition384 pitches hit + 64 pitches taken (1 pitch every round) = 83.5% accuracy
2,400 seconds in 40 minutes
-60 seconds (20 seconds in between groups to rotate)
2,340 seconds ÷ 4 groups = 585 seconds / group
585 seconds ÷ (4 hitters X 4 rounds / hitter = 16) = 36 seconds / round
*3 seconds to exit the cage + 3 seconds to enter, leaves you 30 seconds / round.
30 seconds / round ÷ 6 pitches (5 hit + 1 taken) = 5 SECONDS / PITCH

“Through repetition and time, habits eventually bury themselves so deeply into the coding of human thought and
behavior that they ultimately often override conscious choice. As the
saying goes, we begin controlling our habits. In time, our habits control us.”
- William James

Execution
“Guessing what the pitcher is going to throw is eighty percent of being a successful hitter. The other twenty
percent is just execution.” –Hank Aaron

Execution
Cutting The Plate: 2 / 3 vs. 1 / 3
“Manny would rather die than go to bat without a
Plan.” He likes to say, “I’ll give the pitcher this much of the plate, but if
he misses here, he’s mine.”-Don Mattingly on Manny Ramirez
