This is why process matters, doing things the "right way" so that you don't have to depend on "urgency" or "adrenalin" or whatever causes athletes to reach temporary peaks.
The one fault I find with Dombrowski is too much emphasis on "hitting," not enough on hitters who know how to hit, i.e., plate discipline, work a count, drive pitch counts up, patiently wait for mistakes, take what the pitcher gives (don't try and pull everything). Schwarber is the best (and has learned to take balls the other way), Stott showed potential but now is too aggressive, Marsh the same. The others get by more on talent than fundamentals, and when they slump, have nothing to fall back on - and even top talent tends to age badly in a player's 30s.
