Improving command with specific vision cues 👁️ 🎯

We see because we move and we move because we see.

You can’t separate vision and movement. Everything matters and it’s all interconnected.

When you know a pitcher’s target eye, motor preferences, and vision quadrant, cool things can happen with command

Garret ( @garret_carter1 )is an elite arm but struggles a little bit with FB command/control. This bullpen we focused on driving the heater to the glove side.

When Garret tries to get to his glove side, he has a tendency to open early which ends up in an arm side miss or a pull-yank.

Earlier in the week, we played around with a visual target during his drill work and it improved both his command and his head positioning into ball release.

The cue in this video is very specific to Garret and won’t work for everyone.

But when starting to address a command/control issue—start with the question “where are you looking?” and then “what do you see?”

Some guys can lock in on the intended target, others need to find it late, and others need to see it out of their peripheral vision first.
