Yeah, I think you're right. Everyone expects a reversion to the mean -- even the batters themselves. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But maybe it's more than that. The will power to overcome our intrinsic limits eventually runs out. We can only focus on the ball so long before our thoughts wander. And at some point below the average of our capabilities, we get tired of taking a break and start to perform again as well as we know we can.
