The correct answer is the frustration-aggression principle

The frustration-aggression principle refers to the process in which frustration fuels feelings and sensations of anger, which in turn leads people to engage in aggressive behavior.

This in turn might lead the pitcher to hit the next batter due to feelings of frustration and anger.
