Perfect Baseball Player

Not only do players think while on defense, but also, they are thinking while batting. A player may be batting in certain situations where they know they need to hit the ball to a certain place or get a bunt down at a certain place. Again, this is all happening before they step into the box and react physically to the pitch being thrown. Baseball is a very hard game physically and when players are struggling it is very hard to stay positive mentally. It is hard to get enough to hit and when things are going bad our mind becomes evil. This is where baseball players develop to be mentally tough. Baseball is so hard that if you go 3 out of 10 you are considered one of the greats. In basketball, if a player shoots 3 out of 10 from the free throw line they're going to be terrible. This lone statistic right here shows how much failure is in the game of baseball and how hard it is. It is extremely hard for athletes to stay positive in these slumps they may experience when they aren't getting any hits. Another mental aspect of baseball is the fears players must overcome to be successful.

Baseball statistics are meant to be a representation of a player’s talent. Since baseball’s inception around the mid-19th century, statistics have been used to interpret the talent level of any given player, however, the statistics that have been traditionally used to define talent are often times misleading. At a fundamental level, baseball, like any game, is about winning. To win games, teams have to score runs; to score runs, players have to get on base any way they can. All the while, the pitcher and the defense are supposed to prevent runs from scoring. As simplistic as this view sounds, the statistics being used to evaluate individual players were extremely flawed. In an attempt to develop more

Yadier Molina is and always will be one of the greatest catcher to ever play the game of baseball. With Yadi coming into the league at such a young age, he has had more of an opportunity to prove himself and the stats and awards he has won can really back it up. Not just is he one of the greatest to play the game at that position, he is one of the best “on the field managers” as they say as far as controlling the tempo of the game and how it is played. With all of the accomplishments Molina has had in his career, it proves why he is one of the best to ever play the game at the catching position.

Have you ever wondered how baseball players are able to crush 400 foot homeruns? It takes years and years to perfect a baseball swing to be able to do that. Swinging a bat and hitting a baseball is a lot more difficult than most people think. The pros make it look so easy because they have to perfect many mechanics just to hit a ball hard on the sweet spot of the bat. “Hitting is the single most difficult thing to do in sport.” this coming from Ted Williams, one of the greatest hitters of all time. Hitting a baseball requires more mechanical precision compared to other sports (Williams).

However, a lack of motivation inspired hitting .300/.363/.511 with 19 doubles, 26 home runs, 49 walks, and 107 strikeouts that year. Altogether, he hit a .304/.366/.523 that season with 20 doubles, 28 homers. 102 RBI, 50 walks, and 10 strikeouts. He fell on a rough patch, therefore he trained intensively on his pitching, because his teammates needed him to win that season. Nonetheless, the rough patch became a temporary problem as his teammates and staff helped him to improve and his motivation to improve exceeded which ultimately reflect on his stats towards the end of the season.

For others, the games go on and the players and their games just get bigger. One example is Steve Gardner. He was coached in little league by Jack Swenson, and continued to be coached by dedicated volunteer coaches and dads in this town until he made the high school team where he was coached until he graduated in 1966. After graduation, he played ball on the Weber State team for three years and was “All Conference” and was then drafted to play professionally for the Houston Astros for three seasons where he won the Western Carolina League Batting Championship and was named “Louisville Slugger” in 1971.

As a four-year varsity-starting catcher for his high school, Steve was destined for greatness as soon as he stepped onto the field. His coach John Martin described the 6’2” 210 pound player as “the greatest athlete he’s ever had the pleasure to coach,” and that Steve was a “unique physical specimen.” Whenever he set foot on the diamond Steve was always at least two or three steps ahead of the competition. Whether it was always knowing where to make the play before it even came to him, or positioning his teammates in a way

Six of the top twenty-five highest paid players in the major leagues are Latin American players (Gordon). Yet, out of the hundreds at academies all over the Dominican Republic, less than half will ever leave the island.
