Finding what works to get the job done

July 27, 2022 by C.J. Stewart

The fall baseball season is right around the corner—the time that my hitters focus on trying new things to determine what works and what doesn’t.

Many people believe athleticism is something you have to be born with. I believe it can be taught. Anyone who participates in a sport is an athlete. Those athletes who have an ability to critically think at a high level about how to execute physically can be considered to be athletic.

It requires athleticism to figure out how to get a hit against a pitcher who throws a pitch of any type you’ve never seen before.

Athleticism allows you to perform at high levels even when you don’t have a brand new bat,
a private hitting coach and you are not playing on the top travel baseball team.

I remember when I was a kid living in Atlanta in the ’80s. I would watch Chicago Cubs games in the daytime in the summer and practice hitting in my grandparents backyard being Gary “The Sarge” Matthews at Wrigley Field by hitting rocks with a stick.

I never asked anyone for a bat and a ball because the sticks and the rocks got the job done for me.

I was drafted twice by the Chicago Cubs and “Sarge” was one of my hitting coaches when I played in the Minors.
