This is a great topic as a LOT of people work on mechanics, strength etc. But NEVER work on visual training. Frozen Ropes Training Centers include visual training in every instructional program. Having great visual acuity is a tremendous asset to a hitter or a baseball player for that matter. Some of these findings will suprise most people.
Here is a short message regarding some of the findings that our corporate training board has discovered after testing some 1500 Mets and Dodger major and minor league players. Some findings: "81% of the players had acuities of 20/15 or better and about 2% had acuity of 20/9.2 (the best vision humanly possible is 20/8). The average visual acuity of professional baseball players is approximately 20/13!" So it is very apparent that Professional baseball players have great vision!
