No you do not need the VR headset to begin your training. As a member you will have immediate access to both the non-VR vision training  drills as well as the VR training drills. 

At anytime, you can add VR training to your development at shop.appliedvisionbaseball.com, but you can train your vision skills without a VR headset today!

A hitter's ability to recognize spin, speed, and the future location of the pitch at point-of-contact will contribute to a hitter's ability to make more solid contact while driving the ball with more power.

Ultimately, our vision training drills allow for hitters to simulate live at-bats while rehearsing success so the next time they step up to the plate in a real game, they believe they've already succeeded!

With an Applied Vision Baseball membership, you get immediate access to: 

- all Pitch Recognition Training sequences & specialized vision drills.

The Applied Vision Baseball pitch recognition app utilizes actual video footage from inside the batter's box on each side of the plate to capture the most realistic hitter's perspective.

With the strike-zone awareness box placed on the footage, the user is able to reference the box to identify pitch-types, and balls & strikes while training in the app.

We've worked hard to provide users with the most challenging and engaging pitchers like former Major League pitcher, Bud Smith & other professional and top college pitchers as well as a library of elite high school and youth level pitchers.

Additionally, we offer a full library of "pitch-type specific" pitch recognition training drills. 

Are you struggling with recognizing the changeup? You can use the changeup pitch recognition Occlusion Training sequence drill, which is a pitch recognition training philosophy used by professional organizations since the 1980s.

Lastly, we have created pitch recognition drills to help hitters develop their Swing Trigger™ (Reaction to balls and strikes) and Hitting I.Q. (Hitter's Count Leverage Awareness).

How often you should be training your pitch recognition depends on where you are at in your developmental process as well as how much playing time you're currently earning.

In either case, we've seen great results with hitters who allocate at least five minutes a day to reinforce proper pitch recognition habits.

You spend time in the batting cage to refine your swing. You spend time in the weight room to build explosive power and strength, and you spend time in the Applied Vision Pitch Recognition App to develop superior pitch recognition skills.

It depends on where the hitters are at in their developmental process. Typically, we see same-day results for hitters who train with the Soft to Hard Focus pitch recognition drills just before a game.

Yes, and it's highly recommended! Using the AVB Pitch Recognition App is a great way to reinforce proper visual movements that a hitter can implement into their next at-bat. Especially the soft to hard focus drills as well as the strike-zone awareness drills.

As a general rule of thumb, we recommend introducing pitch recognition training as soon as hitters begin facing live pitching off of a mound. The sooner a hitter is able to understand plate and zone awareness, the sooner a hitter will develop pitch type and location detection as well as their overall Hitter I.Q.™.
