Keep it Simple: See the Ball – Hit the Ball

A baseball bat at its widest is three and three quarters inches in diameter. A ball comes toward the hitter at the speed of 80-90 plus miles per hour. A 90 MPH fastball reaches the plate in four-tenths of a second. The hitter has just about one-tenth of a second to pick up the ball. However good your mechanics may be, you won’t success if I blindfold you. First things first, see the ball!
Your eyes tell your brain how to react, if your eyes aren’t seeing the ball well, you are not going to be able to react properly to the ball. Since you only have four-tenths of second to recognize, react and execute the swing on an average fastball, you need to learn how to track the ball.
