Ian Happ

But, you know, there are unfortunately stretches like this.

And when the whole group's going through it, I know it can be frustrating to watch for fans.

I mean, I think when you're going through it, the hardest thing to do is to stay focused on your process and the process.

The easy thing to do is chase the mechanics and be like, well, I stink, so I have to change something.

And I'm not hitting this or doing this.

Get really focused on that, really obsessed with the fact that you're not doing something.

And then change something mechanically to try to plug the hole or fix the problem.

And that gets to be a really slippery slope.

And then you're just searching day after day for a new thing because you take that and the game doesn't work, take that and the game doesn't work.

And you've completely lost sight of process, focus, what you're trying to do, what the pitcher's trying to do.

And so I think the biggest challenge is to...

all right, I think that the best pitch for me to hit against this guy tonight is a fastball.

So I want to be completely and totally committed to the fastball in this location, this window, whether it's inner third, outer third, whatever.

I want to be totally committed to that pitch.

And the more that you can do that and have that process of

just totally committing to seeing the ball in your approach i think that that's the that's how you get out of it but the opposite is true when you chase the mechanics all the time it gets really hard then that is i think the nature of hitting in a nutshell ian what's going on with connect roasters connect roasters we got the uh home run club um and we're working on a little meet and greet so uh connectroasters.com check out the home run club coffee to your door once a month
