Mental Mound turns every spare moment into a baseball IQ session - no field, no gear, just game smarts. Young players learn baseball by watching and doing. But they rarely get reps on the mental side: When do I hold the runner? Who covers second on a steal? What's the play with the ball in the gap and two outs? Mental Mound fills that gap with hundreds of situation-based scenarios and position drills built for players 7U-13U. HOW IT WORKS Pick a situation. Read the field. Choose the right play. Every scenario puts you in the game - runner on second, one out, ground ball to short. What do you do? Tap your answer and get instant coaching feedback that explains exactly why the right play is right and what to avoid next time. WHAT'S INSIDE Scenarios - Hundreds of game situations covering defense, baserunning, hitting, and game IQ. Filtered by age group so 7U players aren't getting 13U reads. Drills - Position-specific training cards for every spot on the field. Catchers work on blocking and framing. Outfielders learn drop steps and relay reads. Pitchers study coverage and fielding situations. Field Focus - The mental checklist every player should run between every pitch. Builds the habit of knowing the situation before the ball is even hit. Whiteboard - A simple visual scratchpad for players, coaches, and parents to diagram plays and talk through situations together. Progress Tracking - Accuracy scores, streaks, and per-category stats keep players motivated and show exactly where they need more reps. WHO IT'S FOR - Players ages 6-13 who want to think faster on the field - Parents who want to help their kid prepare between practices - Coaches looking for a lightweight tool to quiz their team WHY IT WORKS The best youth players don't just react - they already know what they're going to do before the ball is hit. Mental Mound builds that pre-pitch mental habit through repetition, feedback, and game-realistic situations. Baseball is 90% mental. Start training it.
