The best pitchers in the world are elite compensators. Players have a high level understanding of where their bodies are in space. One of the biggest reasons why they’re able to manipulate the baseball in the manner that they do.
I’ve been flirting with the idea that going through your delivery with your eyes closed may enhance a players proprioception.
I want to create a stress free environment. So I started asking pitchers to perform their dry work with their eyes closed. This then led to different movements, and has transitioned to light plyo work with eyes closed.
Whether it works or not, it has become a fun additive to our practice setting. It’s at the very least challenging and adds a great variable to our work as pitchers.
