Most programs measure bat speed, exit velo and launch angle. Almost none measure what happens before the swing.
This week every hitter on the Michigan State Softball # roster got tested on five things most programs never check:
1. Pitch recognition — calling the pitch off the hand, not at the plate
2. Gaze at release — where the eyes are when the ball leaves
3. Seeing through the gaps — how the brain fills in what the eyes miss
4. Focus speed — hand to contact point and back
5. Eye tracking & depth — whether both eyes agree on where the ball is
Every one of these is trainable. None of them can be trained until they’re measured.
Thank you Michigan State Softball of Michigan State University for bringing us to East Lansing. 💚
