Muscle memory? key to creating baseball skills!
How To Create Efficient Baseball Skills
Baseball has been proven to be one of, if not the hardest, sport to consistently achieve success in. Why? It is because it requires high level of skill in various aspects to be performed consistently. This can't be done by rolling the balls out! You have to practice, which means you have to efficiently perform a specific amount of repetitions on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. If this process is followed correctly you will build efficient Muscle Memory at each specific skill in baseball required to perform at a high level.
Muscle memory is a term that is not preached at an early age. Too many young players are not taught the correct mechanics from the start. Young players actually create negative muscle memory after years (age 5-13) of practicing bad mechanics. When these players reach 12yr-15yrs of age it is almost too late to create proper muscle memory. I said almost, so that means that they can correct their poor mechanics, but it will take extensive efficient repetitions on a daily/weekly/monthly basis to retrain the body to perform these skills efficiently (correctly). This is why it is very important that young players are taught the correct mechanics at an early age so they create proper muscle memory early on. Young players that are not taught correct mechanics of the game at an early age have to invest more time, more repetitions when they are 12,13,14, and 15yrs old to achieve any high level goals they plan on accomplishing in the game of baseball (High School, College, Pro Levels). Players have to "correctly" or efficiently perform at least 25 repetitions a day of a specific baseball skill a day to create proper muscle memory. The key word to my last sentence is "correctly" or essential. Players do not get better by just doing 25 repetitions and calling it a day (at least 30% of their 25 repetitions are not done correctly). GET YOUR EFFICIENT REPETITIONS PERFORMED DAILY!!!

Baseball and golf(only game in the world where the ball doesn't move) are reall hard sports to become a professional. Anyone can become good in most other sports with hard work and some athleticism.
You got it! Two of the toughest sports that take high skill levels that take lots of hard work to master, if they ever get mastered!
I know golf is the most humblng game. One day it is easy, the next day it is if you had never played before. Some days the hole looks 3 feet wide, somedays the ball looks bigger than the hole. Good luck at WA.
