Every time you practice a baseball skill repeatedly, your brain undergoes a process called neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout your lifetime. As you learn and practice a new skill, watching a pitch leave the pitchers hand and tracking the ball to your bat, the neurons in your brain begin to form new connections, strengthen existing ones, and weaken or eliminate others that are no longer necessary. These changes are driven by the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters, which signal the neurons to form new connections and strengthen existing ones.
