Presets. If you watch a lot of big league hitters you’ll see them either pre set a certain part of there body or eyes. The less movement you can have in a swing = the better odds you have to be on time= better odds of you getting a barrel.
Presetting your sights is a huge thing to do. For me personally I don’t look at the pitcher until he starts moving. This is called a soft gaze. When you’re staring out into the field but you aren’t looking at anything specific. If you use a hard gaze for to long when staring at a pitcher your eyes are going to be off. And that can’t happen because at the end of the day as a hitter our goal is to “see the ball”. So instead of staring at a pitcher. Look elsewhere. Soft gaze. I like to look at the tunnel of the arm slot that he’s been coming from. That starts on deck and in the dugout. It doesn’t start when you’re walking up to the plate. By the point you’re already behind. Corey Seager is very direct about his presets. He presents his eyes and his body to where HE needs to be. Cutting out extra slack (extra moves). To be as clean and efficient as possible every single swing.
