Yesterday, i was the starter for our second game of a double header. i was usually the closer during the school season but i prepared for the game like a starter. i kept things loose but focused, threw in the bullpen, stretched a little more. when the bottom half of the inning came around, i struggled. i walked the bases loaded and then threw a wild pitch and walked two more batters. i let up three runs and left with two outs. the thing i am ashamed of was my body language. i got mad, passive, then utterly ****ed off. my mechanics went out the door, every pitch was as hard as i possibly could and i was out of the game mentally. i went in the dugout and cooled off and luckily i was able to hit well and play 1st errorless but my pitching was something i couldnt stand. im playing in front of scouts this year at tounaments and really dont want to do this in front of them or anyone
does anyone have any tipe on how to controll emotions on the mound? or does this come with maturity and experience? i really dont want to have this kind of body language anymore but i cannot figure out a way that works yet to help me. any other advice will help too
thank you
