Swinging until you aren’t.
Treat each pitch like someone is throwing you bp, swinging until you aren’t. You know the pitch is a good pitch to hit until your eyes tell you to shut the swing down. You are making the decision to take not swing. If you don't see the ball well and you don't have two strikes its a take every time.
The score is irrelevant
The ebbs and flows of a baseball game are all artificial. When you are winning you think you will win and same with losing. There is one time the score matters at the end, that's it....period. But the hitter gets 3 strikes and the pitcher gets 4 balls, a hit's a hit and an out's an out and every 3 outs you switch.
GOOD V GREAT
For position players, one more hit a week changes your batting average from 300 to 350 in a major league type schedule. In college or high school it changes your average more then 50 points. Remember that, bunt for a hit, run hard to beat out an infield hit, appreciate the bloopers, they all count the same. A hit's a hit.

Win that Pitch
They all count the same. The homer you gave up in the 8th of a 11-1 game counts the same as the walkoff homer you give up and the same thing for the positive stats. A hits a hit, an outs an out. Do not let the score determine your focus on that pitch.
