The hunted3/23/2023 ![]() PROCESS OF ELIMINATION (the Hunter’s Game Plan) If the Hunter’s mind isn’t right, he becomes the hunted, the prey. You can literally feel his presence, for he is the predator. He hunts with intent! The Hunter addresses the game with a completely different frame of mind and spirit than the hunted. The Hunter doesn’t necessarily have the best swing, but what he does have that separates him is an approach, a game plan, a mindset and an attitude. Uncertainty is what successful pitchers thrive on, and when hitters become uncertain they become the hunted! In the midst of being hunted by the pitcher, the key to successful hitting is for the hitter to become the Hunter! Becoming the Hunter has nothing to do with size, strength, age, or technique and everything to do with mindset and attitude! Get Your Mind Right - GYMR! When uncertainty creeps into the mind, the hitter is defeated before ever swinging the bat. The defensive hitter (the hunted) is inconsistent, they hit with uncertainty. Most hitters hit defensive, unless they’re in advantage counts (1-0, 2-0, 2-1, 3-1). This is an interesting concept because baseball is one of the only sports where this exists. In most sports the offensive has the ball and the defensive seeks to prevent the offense from scoring, but in baseball it’s the opposite. The Hunter’s greatest challenge is being on offense when it appears he is on defense. HUNTING WHILE BEING HUNTED (Irony at its Best) ![]() The Hunted loads his swing with unprepared eyes, anticipating multiple pitches and locations, struggling to be on-time and struggling to take quality swings! The hunted lacks a game plan and clarity, waiting in an open field like a gazelle about to be eaten by a Tiger. He’s on the defense, being pursued, fidgety and insecure of ambush. The struggling hitter is “The Hunted!” The Hunted hits with a shield, he’s reactive, uncertain, trying not to be eaten. The Hunter loads his swing with prepared eyes, in full anticipation of the pitch and location he is hunting, 100% on-time, with his “A+” swing! The dominate hitter is “The Hunter!” The Hunter hits with a weapon, he’s proactive, confident, hungry, determined to eat! He’s on offense, in pursuit, ready to ambush, ready to ATTACK! The Hunter Plans the Hunt and then Hunts the Plan, waiting in the weeds like a Tiger waiting for a gazelle. ![]()
