🔑Control the On Deck, Control the At-Bat

Lane Adams

10d • 🏹 Hitting Principles

What you should be doing on deck:

1️⃣ Calm your mind

If your heart rate is high, your swing speeds up.

Slow it down.

Inhale through the nose
Long exhale through the mouth
Feel your feet on the ground

Get back to neutral before you ever step in.

2️⃣ Lock in timing

Don’t guess

Watch his rhythm.

Leg lift speed
Hand break
Time to the plate

Get your internal clock synced before you step in.

3️⃣ Find the release point

Track the ball out of the hand.

Over the top?
Low slot?
Hiding it well or showing it early?

Your eyes need reps before your body goes.

4️⃣ Read command

Stop watching results.

Watch patterns.

What pitch does he land?
Where is he missing?
Arm side? Glove side? Up?

That tells you what you can hunt.

5️⃣ Build your plan

Don’t walk in empty.

Pick ONE lane.

Pitch type
Zone
Count approach

Simple. Clear. Repeatable.

6️⃣ Rehearse your swing

Not random swings.

Intent swings.

One or two cues max
Feel your best move
Stay within yourself

You’re not fixing your swing. You’re reminding it.

Bottom line:

If you step in sped up, you’re already beat.

Slow the mind.

Control the breath.

Then step in ready.

Win the on-deck circle…and the at-bat slows down.
