Part 2/7:
Batty opened up about his mindset as a major league player, expressing his belief in his abilities and potential for success. He emphasized the importance of staying true to oneself, saying, “It’s just staying within myself and not trying to do too much.” This encapsulates a realistic understanding of the highs and lows inherent in baseball, where performance can fluctuate dramatically day by day.
The phrase “you could be seeing a beach ball for two weeks and then be seeing a golf ball” illustrates the unpredictability of the sport. Yet, Batty remains focused on self-improvement. His goal is simply "to be the best version of myself," which highlights not only his competitive spirit but also a maturity that many young athletes struggle to develop.
