Nobody saw a thing. LOL they all had their eyes closed.

She claims she had them open for the hit and they closed after.

LOL, we had a photographer at our tourney last summer. He took hundreds of pics and I could not find one kid in the process of swinging with their eyes open.

I once saw a picture in the paper of a major league hitter, catcher and umpire. The shot focused on the catcher - who had his eyes closed as the batter was swinging!

 

[InsidePitch]

Well it looks like a natural phenomenon as evidenced in this pic from last summer. I can't tell if DD's eyes were closed but the ump and catchers were.

From what I've learned in the past it's human nature to blink when contact is persieved. Try the no flinch drill with a catcher, they will blink just before the ball contact their helmet.

It is the strike of the bat that closes the eyes. See here right before the hit, all eyes open. FWIW, 198 Ft to RF, DD does love the inside pitch.
