Vision training system

摘要

Devices, systems, and methods for training baseball and softball batters, to identify types of pitched balls (fast ball, curve ball, slider and changeup) and locations (strike or non-strike zone) of pitched balls in order to increase hitting accuracy. A motion sensor can be triggered by the leading foot of a pitcher. The motion sensor can face upward to detect the passage of a pitched ball from the pitcher. When the motion sensor is triggered, a signal can be sent to a black out lens that blocks the vision of a hitter being trained to identify the types and locations of the pitched balls. The training includes changing the lens from transparent to opaque at selected distances between the hitter and the pitcher.

1. A vision training system for training baseball and softball batters to identify different types of pitched balls and the strike or non-strike zone locations of the pitched balls in order to increase hitting accuracy, comprising:
a motion sensor triggered by a pitched ball; a blackout lens positioned in front of a batter being trained; and a control for changing the blackout lens from transparent to opaque at selected distances the pitched ball travels from the release point of the pitched ball to a location before the pitched ball reaches the batter, wherein different types of pitched balls and locations of pitched balls are is identified by the batters.
