    The process of becoming a great baseball player takes talent, hard work, and a ton of practice. Baseball, being the second hardest sport in the world is a hard sport to stay discipline at. As a player, he must make sure he works at all the drills everyday, boring or not. Also, he must have the mental mind set that he definitely wants to make it to the big leagues, if he doesn't, then its all a big waste.

Physically both Bromden and McMurphy are huge. But, unlike McMurphy, Bromden does not have the self-confidence to match his gigantic exterior. This contrast in personality is due to the idea that Bromden has constantly been maltreated for the entirety of his life. McMurphy, on the other hand, refuses to be brought down because of his indomitable spirit.…

    He is athletic because he plays a lot of sports and he also really good at baseball. That’s why he plays baseball for a really good team. He practices a lot, so He’ll get better. It says in the book in Hutch’s point of view that “When I got up to bat I told myself that I was going to make a good hit.” And sure enough he hit a homerun. I think that by him being really athletic that he might get a scholarship for baseball in college or just make it to the MLB. That shows that he’s athletic.…

    I may not be a starter for my baseball team, I may not play near as much as I want, but I still work hard and I still want to prove people wrong. I know that I’m not the best, but like Dustin Pedroia, I will work to be better, to prove people wrong, and to succeed in what I do, whether it’s sports, coaching or academics. But without the coaches that worked with him to get better, Dustin would’ve never succeeded and in my case that is especially true. One coach in particular is coach Ohlau who, no matter what worked with me whether it was in the baseball camps, after practice or after we’d just finished coaching baseball for the middle school he always was working with me. Thanks partly to the efforts by him and the other EHS baseball coaches I have become the player, student and person I am today. As a coach, I also believe in the value of hard work, it’s sad to see players who could be good just be lazy and seeing the failure of people with great talent but no work ethic, is an eye opening experience, and it inspires me to work hard to not end up in the same…
