The hitter, when arriving to the batting box, finds himself amidst the most varied interpersonal and environmental influences that surround him. These influences are stressful and generate anxiety, and if the batter does not have the psychological mechanisms to counteract them, it will affect his attention and performance, which can cause depressive states or general discomfort for not achieving the expected sports performance. For this reason, the main objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of a psychological intervention plan with hypnosis as a therapeutic form to favor the regulation of anxiety in hitters of the social category of Santiago de Cuba in the period 2019-2020. In this research, the quantitative-qualitative, non-probabilistic, purposive, descriptive, pre-experimental methodology and an applied study were used. The  diagnostic results obtained  revealed, in a first cut, a considerable decrease of the psychosomatics effects of anxiety in batters, as well as their ability to identify the symptoms of anxiety at  psychological, physiological and behavioral levels, favoring their action in the regulation of these symptoms before, during and after the time of batting.
