I was wondering if anyone knew of good drills to increase a hitter's vision.

Paint numbers on baseballs and as you pitch them in he doesn swing, he simply yells out the number as soon as he can read it.
Get three different colored whiffle balls, say red white and blue. He stands ready to hit, with his eyes closed. You soft toss them to hit and when they are close you yell go and he opens his eyes and only hits the red one letting the white and blue ones go.
Play every game as if it were your last

I have never understood the wisdom in identifying colored or numbered balls when they are in the hitting zone..
What does this possibly do to pertain to hitting?..Pitch location and speed must be recognized long before the ball reaches the hitting zone..
I can see trying to see a number, or color, early in the pitch sequence..But, late?..
Just wondering why people do this?..

Simply a matter of opening your eyes and having to recognize the color really quickly.
