1. Before the at-bat

Build a plan before the at-bat.

Set your intention before you step in — what you're hunting, how you want to compete in this count, and what you're trying to do differently from last time. Then reflect on the result, execution, and adjustments afterward.

2. During the at-bat

Log the pitch-by-pitch process.

Track pitch location, type, decision, result, contact quality, and outcome — a full record of what actually happened, not just how the at-bat ended.

APPROACH

Build your hitting approach

Define your batter side, power zones, count approach, strengths, vulnerabilities, situational adjustments, and mental cue.

LOG

Pitch-by-pitch logging

Track pitch location, type, decision, result, contact quality, and outcome, so you understand the process behind the at-bat, not just the final result.

REVIEW

Review what happened

A full pitch sequence with contact quality and outcome, so you can see exactly how the at-bat unfolded and where you were beat or did damage.

3. After the at-bat

Review what happened.

Reflect on the plate appearance while it's still fresh. Compare the result with the plan, note what the pitcher showed you, and capture the adjustment you want to carry into the next at-bat.

4. See the pattern

See swing-decision and count patterns.

Chase, zone swing, whiff, contact, damage, and spray patterns that the box score cannot show — plus first-pitch habits, two-strike decisions, and count leverage over time.

6. Build baseball IQ

Build baseball IQ — and know what to work on next.

Your journal becomes more useful over time. Recurring patterns help show where your decisions are improving, where the same issues keep showing up, and what deserves more attention in your next practice or game. The journal is still the hitter's own record — you build the plan, log the at-bat, and do the reflecting.

7. Journal your way

Log it when it works for you.

Log plate appearances on your phone after the at-bat when practical, add detail later after the game, or use the printable PA chart during the game and enter everything later. Batter's Eye Q works on iPhone, Android, and the web, so the journal can fit the way you actually play.
