If you actually pay attention to his foot placement from his original open stance once the pitcher starts his motion, youll see that his swing stance is pretty even, which is ideal. Now you could make the argument that his movement is alot and may slightly shift his eyes…but alot of guys do it and are fine. So i dont think thats the issue

This is exactly right.

The kid's problem is in his head, not his stance. Sometimes, when guys change their approach or stance to try to fix an issue that is mostly in their head, it gives them a touchpoint that helps them get their head on right but I am not sure it is any more successful than time for most guys. It's really almost like you just have to give up trying then you get 2 or 3 hits in a row and suddenly you're back in form.

I think a lot of hitters’ problems stem from the fact that they’re too concerned about hitting the ball and not concerned enough about seeing the ball first. They’re putting the cart before the horse.

Not enough hitters are being taught how to see a ball with their subconscious mind, and allowing themselves to simply react to the ball with natural hand/eye coordination. If you let go and allow your subconscious mind to see the ball better, you will have much better data (ball spin/path/velocity) to react with.

The subconscious mind, combined with good eyesight, can see far more than the conscious mind and eyesight. What’s even more important is that it can analyze far more data at a much greater speed. You can learn how to do this and hit a ball, much more solidly and consistently if you do.
