How can I become a smarter baseball player?
I know I have a lot of talent but I feel like i’m missing a lot in the mental game. Is there any book or DVD or anything I can read to become a smarter all around player? I heard Cal Ripken Jr talking yesterday and it was amazing how smart he was and how much knowledge of the game he had. I wish I could know some of the things he knew and others know.
Thank you for any tips
Read “Pure Baseball” by Keith Hernandez.
It is not an easy read but you will learn about running counts, what pitches pitchers will throw in given situations, defensive positioning, etc.
The book is 15 years old but the strategic aspects of the game still apply. Don’t let that be a turn off if you can’t relate to the players at that time.
