Good stuff. I remember one of the Mets rising players doing something similar awhile back. I can't remember his name but played 3rd and 2nd. He also fielded ground balls in parking lots with the numbers and colors on them if I remember correctly. I played around with this a little when I was coaching. Back in the day I taught science and would have one of my baseball players do science fair projects using a methods close to the above. Also, did projects using front eye dominance compared to back eye dominance.
Mark McGuire was doing some cutting edge training to help stabilize his eye muscles. His eye sight was very poor. Also used steroids. Lol
Why in parking lots? Interested in that.
Forgot to mention that dd who sees the ball better is cross eye hand dominant. In informal polling I found that pretty much all of the standout hitters she played with at young ages also were. The thing all these kids had in common was that they started playing at an early age AND hit practice a lot at that early age. In their cases, a lot of machine balls. Makes me think that the cross eye hand dominance was trained into them, not an accidental thing.
