Purposes: Players are key figures in a sports game, and athletes' psychological qualities can impact their performance. This study aims to explore the current state of psychological capital, competitive psychological skills, and athletic performance among domestic professional baseball players. By understanding the psychological states of professional baseball players, the study seeks to provide support for psychological skill training and intervention strategies. Methods: This research was conducted using a survey method with 57 professional baseball players as participants, following ethical review and obtaining consent. Research tools included the Psychological Capital Scale, Competitive Psychological Skills Scale, and Athletic Performance Scale. Results: The average performance of professional baseball players across the four dimensions of psychological capital ranged between 84.8% and 88.1%, with hope scoring the highest and resilience the lowest. The total average score percentage for competitive psychological skills was 82.4%, with the highest percentage in concentration (88.5%) and the lowest in anxiety management (76.6%). The average performance on the Athletic Performance Scale was 7.45. There were significant positive correlations between the four dimensions of psychological capital, competitive psychological skills, and athletic performance. No significant differences in psychological capital were found between first and second team players. However, second team players performed significantly better than first team players in self-talk, breathing control, anxiety management, and self-affirmation. Players with over six years of experience had better goal-setting compared to those with 1-3 years of experience. Conclusions: Facing the high-pressure environment of professional baseball, this study found that professional baseball players maintain performance levels above 80% in psychological capital and competitive psychological skills, but athletic performance can be further improved. Enhancing competitive psychological skills for first team players, especially young players new to professional baseball, will help strengthen their psychological qualities. |
