Other players, Pujols comes to mind, just tend to get into a good groove and relax into it.

Gotta suppress the emotion until the play is over.
A pitcher who is too amped up is going to overthrow. Overthrowing kills control and tends to elevate the baseball.
A hitter who is too amped up is going to grip too tight/lose fluidity/lose judgment/press.
A field who is too amped up is going to go too fast, which increases the chances for fielding and throwing errors.
