Part of 'Pressure Situation Panic Syndrome'
It's also why a regular season "RBI" guy chokes "Late & Close" and in the playoffs.
Then there were clutch guys like the Bomber's Billy Martin, a .250 hitter who excelled in the same high pressure situations.
Here he is helping to save the 1952 series vs the Dodgers with this bases loaded running catch.

I love how the camera pans to the fans in the stands and seeing so many of the men dressed in coat, tie and Fedoras being the norm.

Jon Lester would never throw to 1B when there was a runner on 1B

I had the yips when I played third every so often. Near the end of my playing time a coach told me after I caught the ball, not to think about throwing the ball but to concentrate on touching the ball behind my right ear. THAT was the only thing that mattered. He didn't care if i threw the guy out or not, but if I didn't touch the ball behind my ear everyone of the team would be running laps.
It worked. I never missed a throw after that.
I tied my brain up to where I didn't have time to be nervous.

Shaq, Chris Dudley, and Ben Wallace shooting free throws.

David Duval always fascinates me. Stood right up to peak Tiger before completely falling off a cliff and has publicly been open that the pressure is what got to him.
Yips, back issues, and vertigo.
He was my favorite golfer at the time. I was so happy for him when he got that British Open in 2001. He was long overdue for his first major. When he was coming down the 18th, he had all the Brits in full support too (especially after Colin Montgomerie blew that tournament). It was good stuff, and that was pretty much his last hurrah.

Yips in golf are very common.
For me, it was like a seizure.
Putting is the most common yip area.
Many of the non-standard grips were developed to overcome the yips.
The saw, the claw, left hand low.
Just getting a new putter can relieve the mind of the yips.

Scott Hoch was considered, quite possibly, the purest ball striker in the world in the mid to late 80’s, a true tin cup. Whether with an iron or wood in hands he was considered deadly. That all came crashing down on an overcast Sunday in Augusta, Ga. in 1989 thanks to a 2-footer.
After that day, this man couldn’t even get off the tee box, his professional career was completely over.

what is that right fielder even doing catching that ball, looks like it has a shot of landing foul.

Ben Hogan. Watching the Shell Wonderful World of Golf recently when he played Sam Snead in Houston in 1964, eleven years after his last major and he was still money from tee to green, basically calling every shot “I am going to hit this drive 254 yards about five yards from the left edge of the fairway….”. Then they cut to him putting and it was just tragic to watch. He looked like Trump putting.
Ouch. That's an ugly putting stroke
Never knew that about his putting.
