Reply to "How accurate are top pitchers? If pitching were archery?"

micdsguy,
Never thought about it before but back when I was an avid archer we always were taught to aim at a very small spot. The smaller the better. From a archery website:

quote:
Make yourself a note here that you`re not just looking at the target in general, you`re looking at the small spot you intend to hit. You lock onto it and see nothing else in your primary vision.

Could it be that the same applies in pitching? Not sure but it does make sense.
