Most of these are just me being silly, but at this point it’s not looking like they’ll be less effective than what he’s trying now.
Only permit Jason Bay to bunt for an entire game. Maybe it’ll really help him get his timing down and figure out where the ball is going.
Have Jason Bay stand in the batter’s box as the dummy-batter for all starting pitcher side sessions. This way he can time and track pitches without the pressure of striking out.
Make Jason Bay swing lefty. It might force him to focus and make contact.
Get Jason Bay drunk the night before. Tell him not to show up to the park until 30 minutes before first pitch. Maybe it’ll keep him from over-thinking his game and just hit.
Randomly send Jason Bay up to the plate as a pinch hitter with absolutely no warning. Maybe do it after the pitcher has gotten two strikes. Put his back against the wall and maybe he’ll come through.
The logical one being literally work it out with the hitting coach. Watch tape. Analyze your swing. Compare it to past years. Take more BP. Put in extra time scouting the opposing pitcher.
