Cong,

Great point! Many kids have trouble picking up the ball because of the time it takes to adjust your focus. I ask all of my kids to soft focus on a part of the pitcher's body near his release point. Many kids stare without focus into the outfield and their eyes focus to that distance. Then, when the ball is released, their eyes have to find the right focus again and that can take a half-second or so. In that half second, the ball travels around 10 ft. - cutting it down from 60 ft. to 50 ft. If you allow the picture to stand 10 ft. closer, how much harder is it going to be to hit him?
