Unless there is an injury, a week off may not be the best practice for a slump buster, it really depends on your hitter. Your practices at this point is with focus (tee to reonforce or improve mechanical issues, front and machine for timing). The only game time "thinking" is watching/analyzing the pitcher for timing and tells (pitch sequence patterns, anything to indicate a specific pitch, etc). In the hitting game a microsecond of doubt or paralysis by over analysis can be disastrous given the variables in hitting. I think (and hope) evaluators also place weight in the approach and the result. For my kid he has been hitting the ball hard at his games and camps but they were mostly at the defense or it kissed the stratosphere. His best hit he got at the latest tourney was a hard oppo flyner (combo fly/liner) in the gap which the LF made a great jump on and it hit the tip of his glove...so it could be an error. He is taking today off as it was a rough week with the heat and he also went to a camp in the middle of a tourney so he is shot. He will resume tomorrow with tee and timing by mixing more high 70s to 80s as he believes he is way too early on them. That is part of the grind. So far the feedback on his hitting performance in live ABs at the camps has been positive despite the poor results.
