On this week’s episode of the Winner’s Circle, we showcase one of our favorite training modes; Quick Recognition. During this drill, hitters are challenged to make their swing decision during the optimal timing window for the best possible result. Beyond just the importance of making your swing decision at the right time, is the ability to quickly and accurately determine whether or not the pitch will be in the strike zone.
