Excellent article. Thanks. When I was in Jr. HS we had a coach who was very much into the visual science of baseball. He made us take a simple test to check eye dominance. You stand facing a corner where 2 walls of a room meet. Hold your finger up to the exact corner of the wall. Then close one eye. Does you finger move?

When your finger does not move you're looking at it with your dominant eye. I'm right eye dominant. Then he explained how you actually track the ball with your front eye 60% and your back eye 40%. Therefore he switched me around to bat left handed since that would make my right eye my front eye. My batting average went way up. Although I did switch to right handed on the rare occasion of facing a lefty pitcher.

Mark McGwire spent a lot of time at the eye doctor to keep his contacts at 20-15 vision. 20-20 isn't good enough for major league baseball.
