Francis;

a few years ago a local 16 year old HS player joined our Area Code games and International Series with Japan. He was a very talented 6' 1" RHP with a 90 + fastball. When I visited the father he showed me the scorebook that he created.

Every pitch, the game situation, the hitter, the count on the batter. After every game, the father would analyze the game with his son. This would involve 30 minutes of one-way discussion.

The player was drafted and played had a "cup of coffee" in the MLB. There is time and place for "teaching and analyzes". During a game a player's emotions and concentration reach a "high"!

After the game enjoy the results of the team, relax and "smell the roses".

Pitchers wait 5 days for next start. Hitters need to remember, why are they playing? are they having "fun"? Did they see the ball? In this era of metrics it is easy to "over-analyze".
