Why players with average swings outhit players with better than average swings usually comes down to baseball hitting confidence. Having a good mental approach can overcome little hitting flaws, at least up to a certain level of play, so it is important that players have confidence no matter the current state of their hitting mechanics. That is a hitting coach's main objective building that hitting confidence, especially with players, who have so-so swings or those, who generally lack confidence.
I often tell my hitting students many things in that regard. One, hitting mechanics are always a work in progress and they come and go, even for the best of hitters. Some days the swing is there and other days it feels off somewhat. In either case, successful hitting requires other things too, that give players hope, when their swing mechanics are off. Two, that swinging at good pitches to hit, those in the middle of the plate from thigh high to a few inches below the letters, gives players a great chance of success as much as having the perfect swing. These confident boosting points help players understand that perfect baseball swings do not exist and that getting a good pitch to hit is paramount to successful batting. In other words, the mental approach is almost as important as the physical one.
Because hitters will fail more than they succeed, especially at the higher levels of baseball, hitting coaches must keep player confidence as high as possible. Good hitting coaches build baseball hitting confidence by addressing both the physical and mental game of hitting. Following are constant teachings I try to build into my hitting students to build that confidence, no matter the state of their swing mechanics.
