Heck, might even improve your strike zone.

If you only drink water, you need some other strategy to keep your sodium and other mineral levels up. Eat something, or drink actual sports drinks (as opposed to what marketing wants you to believe are sports drinks). Drinking only water in a high fluid loss activity will lead to water intoxication (over-hydration).

Not drinking enough and getting overheated can lead to heat stroke.

Only drinking water to replace high fluid loss can lead to water intoxication (loss of sodium, etc.)

Some of the symptoms are the same.
