Not too long ago I had a conversation with a parent and a player about his struggling performance at bat. The scenario was that he as a sophomore was not getting any playing time over the freshman who was starting in his place. He knew that it was because his offense had slipped and he was having some mechanical problems with this swing. He came to me highly frustrated and wanted to know if we could work on his swing so he could earn his playing time back. My answer to him was that while Im sure he had some issues with his swing, it was his mental game that needed to revisions first and foremost. Only after we dealt with the root causes could we tackle his lack of offensive production.
