A 90-mile-per-hour fastball takes less than half a second to reach the plate. The key to hitting it? Training your vision to process information faster.

Have you ever wondered why elite baseball players seem to have lightning-fast reflexes? It’s not just talent—it’s vision. In this episode, we break down the essential visual skills that give baseball players (and athletes in general) a competitive edge and how vision training can take their performance to the next level.

From reading a curveball’s spin to tracking multiple moving objects in real time, vision is one of the most overlooked aspects of athletic performance. We also discuss how professional athletes, college teams, and even young players are using sports vision training to improve their reaction speed, depth perception, and overall performance on the field.

Whether you're a player, coach, or parent of an aspiring athlete, this episode reveals how vision training can make all the difference in sports performance.
