Baseball is 90 percent mental and the other half is physical.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
Like a lot of kids, you kind of think baseball's boring - that's the perception.
When you reach that elite level, 90 percent is mental and 10 percent is physical. You are competing against yourself. Not against the other athlete.
Baseball is a spirited race of man against man, reflex against reflex. A game of inches. Every skill is measured. Every heroic, every failing is seen and cheered, or booed. And then becomes a statistic.
Baseball is not a lot of statistics to me. It's blood and tears.
Baseball is more than a game. It's like life played out on a field.
I will say this: when you take any substance, especially in baseball, it's half mental and half physical. If you take this glass of water and you say, 'I'm going to be a better baseball player,' then you probably will be.
Ninety percent of hockey is mental and the other half is physical.
Pitching is 80% of the game and the other half is hitting and fielding.
