Baseball is a mental game. Every single moment in the game starts with a pitcher delivering a pitch to a batter. Prior to that pitch, the pitcher and the catcher strategize what pitch to throw. The batter, not knowing what is actually coming, has to react in a split-second. The pitcher and catcher, knowing that the batter has a tendency to react better to some pitches and locations, need to plan a pitch that will make it impossible for the batter to react successfully. The batter gets three chances to fail before he is retired, though he can extend his life with foul balls.
