Taps each shoulder, back of neck, then helmet. I understand readjusting the gloves.

i dunno, but maybe he'll start a trend of other baseball players having weird rituals, because he's clearly the first

he's channeling the force.

it's a quirk just like anything else.

Why does Gausman eat doughnuts between innings and jump the baseline on the way into the dugout?

Why do the base runners chop thier legs after a hit?

WHY???!??!?

Consistency! As a hitter it is good to have a routine to keep you focused.

he may have stopped the last few games at LSU but apparently he's still going strong in the pros.

same reason why a basketball player does the same thing before every free throw. Develop a routine and stick to it
