It’s really frustrating being without a hit and as each game goes by it’s feels like you’ll never get a hit again.
Sometimes people can get into a slump (I know I have) and have hard time working out of it. You sound like you’re psyching yourself out everytime you get at bat.
Think about thses things:
How is your hitting at practice? Have you coach note any mechanics you need to work on.
Have someone watch you at both practice and during a game, have them note any differences.
Have someone pitch you a few prior to the game, this may help reinforce in your mind that you can hit.
Go to the plate thinking about the last time you hit the ball, it may sound stupid but if you problem is really just a psych problem this may help you focus on actually hitting.
If you work on your mechanics during practice, and your able to hit theball, you know you can get a hit. You do have the abiilty, you just need to keep that in the front of your mind as you get up to bat.
