You can’t argue it. Even Hall of Famers seemed like they couldn’t do anything right for a short periods of time in every season.<br /><br /><br />So why should we be any different?<br /><br /><br />As a pitcher, you will have days when your body would rather be doing something different. The competitor in your mind accepts any and all challenges when you get called on to take the mound. <br /><br /><br />Unfortunately, the body has a mind of it’s own.<br /><br /><br />It doesn’t take much to recognize that your Slider is not doing what you expect of it. So how do you combat this problem<br /><br /><br />Here are 7 ways to get yourself out of a Slider Slump<br /><br /><br />#1 Relax<br /><br /><br />First and foremost, RELAX! Don’t Panic! It’s not the end of the world. If you are a competitor, you will find a way to win. Plus, body language is everything. It is a natural instinct to smell fear in your opponents. So when the Hitter sees you are frustrated with yourself based off of your performance, he will eventually get the upper edge. Good pitchers always bring their poker face with them to the mound.<br /><br /><br />#2 Don’t Rush<br /><br /><br />Like the one above, to go along with don’t panic, DON’T RUSH!!! This is the worst thing to do as a pitcher. Speeding up your delivery, ruins your rhythm and really, really, slows your arm down. Rushing your delivery to throw a Slider is absolutely disastrous!!!!! Everything breaks down. And the end result of the pitch is never good. <br /><br /><br />#3 Toy with your grip<br /><br /><br />Some days the ball will just feel different in your hand. That’s how the game goes. The true pitching warriors do not let this affect them. They improvise. <br /><br /><br />#4 Simplify<br /><br /><br />Don’t Think, it hurts the team.<br /><br /><br />The fictitious legend, Crash Davis couldn’t have said it any better. When ball players try to do too much, the eventually end up doing less than they are capable of performing. <br /><br /><br /><br />#5 Downhill downhill downhill<br /><br /><br />This is not only a mechanical perfection, it is also a mindset. When you think down hill you are going to throw down hill. When you throw the Slider downhill, you will be dominant. No questions asked. <br /><br /><br />#6 Trust your Catcher, Trust Yourself<br /><br /><br />When your catcher gives you the sign for the Slider, this means that he knows this is the right pitch in the right spot….and you are the one throwing it. Having a good catcher that you can work well with never gets enough acknowledgment in this game. A good catcher will eliminate a lot of the thinking for you. So all you have to do is execute. <br /><br />#7 Keep throwing it<br /><br /><br />You can’t give up on yourself, <br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTtKedJ2TMM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTtKedJ2TMM</a>
