Impulse Control - Understanding the Scores

High Scorers: 

  • Very skilled at controlling reactive impulses
  • With practice, should be very effective at controlling chasing 
  • Should be a patient, selective hitter, particularly in the attack zone

 

Low Scorers: 

  • More difficulty controlling strong reactive impulses 
  • At high risk for chasing pitches because has considerable difficulty inhibiting strong initial impulses to swing
  • May tend to be an aggressive, free-swinging hitter with poor attack zone discipline
