Here's everything there is to know about baseball vision training. I spent a good 300+ hours collecting everything I've learn and reached when it comes to baseball vision training. Hope you get something out of it.
Hitting Truths...
Here are some truths about hitting…
- As hitters, we’re only as good as the pitches we swing at.
- You can have the sweetest swing in the world and all the confidence on the planet, but if you’re not seeing the ball as well as you can you’re hosed.
- At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is your belief that you have what it takes to beat the pitcher.
Do these make sense?
If so - and if any of them resonate with you, I’d love to hear from you and hear what you thought about them.

Hitting & Baseball Vision
If you’re looking for advice on Pitch recognition and baseball vision, I wrote a piece about everything I’ve learned and currently teach about recognizing pitches at an elite level.

Recognizing Pitch-Types
It takes around 400 milliseconds for an average major league baseball to reach home plate. You have less than 300 milliseconds to recognize the spin, speed, and location of a baseball and put a quality swing on the pitch.
Hitting is hard. Hopefully, this post was helpful.

Hitting & Timing
Hitting is about being on time. Pitching is about upsetting that timing. Our job as an elite hitter is to be on time on every, single pitch.

Hitting & VR
Imagine if you could simulate a week's worth of at-bats in a single day? Imagine the confidence you would build at the plate if you could rehearse success at game speeds and in a controlled environment.
This is our goal with our Baseball VR training.

More importantly, I hope you do something with it.
