Baseball operations, or Ops for most of the time from here on, is a rather irregularly revolving concept. For instance, years ago, weight training in baseball was a no-no. Many teams were very late to the “newer statistics” revolution. Bullpens have grown in numbers with added concern and activism toward keeping pitchers healthy. Can you think of anything that might be a positive for a baseball Ops program to consider?
A decade ago, Mental Skills programs were considered unnecessary. After all, if a player was having concentration or confidence issues, he should “suck it up” and be better about it.
