  2. 2Hitter must choose a shot appropriate to the situation: safe placement when protecting a lead, aggressive swing when trailing late.
  3. 3Debrief each rep on whether the shot choice matched the situational risk level.
  4. 4Rotate hitters so everyone practices situational decision-making.

What to focus on

Shot risk level matches the announced game situation.

Common mistake

Swinging at full risk regardless of score context, ignoring situational percentages.
