As someone that casually hardly ever swung & missed, this is quality advice I wish I had 20 years ago.. I never had power but even without training I almost always made contact.

[@tuckerebest1537]

This is so interesting, I love how you made in game tweaks to help with seeing the ball better, and drills outside of that too. Love the ideas! Can't wait to try them out in game.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thank you! I hope they help!

[@markciano9587]

Coach Justin does an excellent job of making hitters aware of their sight paths & response time. Ted Williams & Jim Rice have both told interviewers that they could see the seams on the ball! Imagine that! A ball rotating at 90+ MPH and they could see the seams! Another point I would like to add is something I teach as Intimidation at the plate. Taking away the plate (i.e. NY Yankees famous for) add an aggressive stance ready to take the ball Yard! Study your opposing team pitchers and share that info in the dugout with your teammates. Learn release points so you can track the pitch angle.

[@dogghost1919]

This has been a problem for me lately, this will definitely help, thank you

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Glad to hear that this will help!

[@xpmark1]

What great hitting advice.I played kid baseball back in the 1950s for high school team and on summer teams.Our hitting practice was just a team pitcher throwing to us at about 60% full speed and the coaches didn't have much to tell us how to hit better.

[@romangomez210]

Good training. I would only recommend for this that you incorporate the discussion of “dominant eye” into this specific type of focal exercise. Keep up the good work!

[@mycropsports6154]

Powerful methods! It’s amazing how small adjustment in baseball can help with developing a competitive advantage. ** I’ve wondered how hours of gaming, phone, etc impacts eye reaction. I’m a strong believer that it does! **

[@garbagetrucklover4306]

I'm a gamer and I've got solid coordination and reflexes and depth perception I have made a fool out of my pitchers by swinging unconventionally and hitting a strong grounder when they thought I wouldnt even swing so they were a asleep

[@richieg8463]

My focus points either the SS or 2B to pitcher then to bat. Eye strengthing routines helped bump up my ERA.

[@odseatz]

Okay, I too have coached for many years and have spent a great deal of time and money sending my kids and teaching kids to hit. This is the missing piece that many coaches do not talk about. This is the science of focal points that is used in many other practices. Thanks for posting this out. To you High School, Little League and Cal Rip coaches, you better pay attention. If you don't you are providing a disservice to the players you are coaching.

[@ivanosky54]

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Try it out and let me know how it works!

[@bozdude626]

mind over matter. its about getting focused and calibrating your mind to do the job at hand

[@yellowflamegaulent3902]

This defftanly helped my vision I did the pen drill and its like you can see the ball like its coming in slow motion and then you can drive it.

[@bozdude626]

i find this advice to be very very useful for any level of player. Just like any high accuracy tool you need to do some sort of calibration for optimal performance of that tool. Hand, eye, and mind calibration when jumping in the box is vital to getting yourself dialed in. In a sport where a great hitter fails 7 out of 10 times any advantage helps even if its just getting your mind in the moment. Great advice!!

[@flyingdutch9818]

Seriously though, as an ex ball player and recently going through eye surgery ( eye pulled out and reinserted) I remembered a version of that first drill and the two pens drill from playing days and can attest they helped my rehab immeasurably. I strongly suspect that first drill has as much to do with being a way to focus mentally as well as visually

[@funkycowboy]

What I did is that I had different color balls. Didn't matter if it was a baseball, or tennis ball, or orange golf ball. I would toss it (softly) while having the kids in a batters stance. They would not swing, but had to yell the color of the ball.

[@warmonger9100]

Your working the vestibular system, that regulates the eyes and brains ability to converge and diverge objects. Awesome.

[@SaddamHussain-ps3dz]

Hello sir, this method is working at cricket.

[@nativebutnotofthisworld9792]

this makes more sense to me being older with my eyes being strained more... but can see this helping young kids too.

[@tmccloudjr13]

Learned this while on a balcony on the beach. Was like what if I can train myself to focus from far to close as fast as possible

[@09fatbobmike]

i just tried this at work right now. i see the purpose. you're eyes can adjust easier by the 3rd or 4th time.

Have been taking Justin's advice on how to see the ball better and using it with my son. Guess what ... IT WORKS! Baseball is a game of small percentages. Anything that can give a batter just a 5% edge is BIG. Or, as Trump would say, "Huge!"

[@lepermessiah2011]

Alex Bregman does something like this. If you notice his batting stance, he'll hold his bat in front of him until the pitcher is about to start winding up for his pitch.

[@andreafabietti756]

What do you recommend to us mere mortals about stretching and or recovery in general. U said obviously you became what you are thanks to years maybe. So what i ask you is, what you did BEFORE you get to the point of not needing to recover?

[@therealluciano2746]

I have a question. I no longer play baseball but it seems like this would be a great eye exercise to improve focus and strengthening of the eyes. Could the eye exercise with the pen be done for eye exercises and should you do this on a daily basis or twice a week?. My other question as well is when doing the pen exercise should you be switching off from right to left eye so you are working on both eyes?. I know this video is based on for improving eye coordination for baseball but this seems like this could be a beneficial eye exercise for just your eyes.

I honestly thought this video was bullshit before I watched but I was wrong and I’m glad lmao good content!

[@karamazovkid71]

This is interesting because these drills are similar to those described by Bates in his heretical book on living without eye-glasses. Bates claimed that by regular eye exercises the human eye would reset itself to a state of maximum performance that would last a lifetime. Bates also talked about the relationships between the consumption of food that could be converted to and stored as beta-carotene: carrots, yellow and orange vegetables, and fish oils, and the competition for the Vitamin A produced from that stored beta-carotene, the competition between the eyes and the skin for that Vitamin A. You need Vitamin A to see well because Vitamin A kind of lubricates the focusing mechanism of the eye. And if you have skin conditions like acne those skin conditions will affect your eyesight because they will deplete your available Vitamin A. What I would like to add to this discussion on the importance of "seeing the ball" is this: The human eye has more than one vision system. Good baseball players employ multiple vision systems playing baseball. For example, an outfielder throwing the ball to third base to cut down a runner uses a vision system to put his throw on the bag. I contend that an outfielder using the proper vision system to make the throw has a better arm than a long-tossing outfielder who can peg the ball a mile. Using vision to make the throw always puts the ball right on the bag. Did you know you have a vision system that permits you to see what is directly in front of you and also see what is behind you at the same time? I learned that in high school, general science, freshman year. I used it to look at the catcher's signs. I never got caught because I was always looking straight out at the pitcher while I was seeing the catcher's signs that were behind me. I stopped doing it because I learned how to read the tells on the ball as it left the pitcher's hand. Looking at the signs was interfering with the vision system I used to track the flight of the ball and to "clock" its speed. It was more important for me to use the vision system that would tell me the speed, location, and movement on the ball than it was to know the catcher's signs. If you have any questions about this just ask and I will try to answer.

[@liamconnelly2212]

karamazovkid what are these different “vision systems”

[@karamazovkid71]

@@liamconnelly2212 Hey Billy. My grandmother was first cousin to James Michael Hisself. So maybe we are kin. First is target vision. Then peripheral vision. Then path vision. Then flight vision. There are a couple of more that I know but I am an old fart and a bit tired today. I got them written down somewhere but don't know where just now. Attraction vision. Seduction vision. So I was kicking off in a football game. I teed the ball and walked back and when I turned to kick I saw for the first time the gorilla who was assigned to block me. He was telling me that he was going to break me in half as soon as I kicked. So as I was about to kick at the last second I took my eye off the ball looking for him and miss-kicked the ball. I shanked it and it floated knuckle ball like high up and to the right. It just floated way up there. I saw the ball with my peripheral vision but I kept my eye focused on King Kong. He was so fascinated by the crazy flight of the ball he turned his attention and focused on it, I kept my eye-ball glued on his helmet. The ball reached an apex and turned over changing direction and accelerating to about a hundred miles an hour. It came speeding down and hit Godzilla square in the forehead. He went straight over backward and hit the back of his head on the ground knocking him out cold. True story. The ambulance came right out on the field and carted him off. I never found out if he lived or died but I was truly amazed what happened. kkid

Better than focus on the bat label is hold bat a foot in front of the plate and focus on the sweet spot of the bat.

Where did you get this info?

[@surfboy9917]

This method was originally introduced by Mayumi Kure in 2010 in Japan.

[@leenicholson6919]

Talking tennis here because tennis instruction on watching the ball is severely lacking compared to that provided by baseball coaching: (1) The focal point switching warm up and exercise is super. (2) The soft focus and shift to the release window is something more tennis coaches should teach. That release window gets you to look at the racket head and gives a jump on just "watching the ball". (3) I saw something similar to the pen exercise using a line with beads on it -- and they included an exercise where you follow the line up and down smoothly (watching the ball come toward you). Here is the best I've found regarding tennis: www.patcash.co.uk/2018/08/how-to-watch-ball-like-pro-tennis/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CWatch%20the%20ball%E2%80%9D%20actually%20means%20being%20aware%20of%20your%20on,decent%20player%20does%20this%20automatically.

Man, this was a great video. I could never put my hands on exactly what it was I used to do to concentrate. I was an extraordinary hitter and had extraordinary Focus but I couldn't put my finger on it when I go to explain it to my son. How I was so confident in the game of baseball. Whit becoming one with the bat and the ball and this is part of the process. That I always did? But couldn't really figure it out how to explain it to somebody. Great stuff, man. Definitely going to give this to my son. To exercise to relax his mind. To gain Focus and to be an extraordinary hitter
