A coach recently told me of the importance of where the girls' eyes should be focused in an at bat before the pitch is released. He told me that the batter's eyes should be on the pitcher's torso around the hip where the pitch will be released. The batter, he said, should make sure not to look at the pitcher's face or get distracted by all of the moving parts in the windup. This way the player can hopefully pick up the pitch as early as possible and get an early load. My daughter has been struggling a little with picking up pitches early and identifying them.
Do others agree with this? I have, nor have I seen the coaches specify where exactly the player should be looking. Thanks!
