and found out that I'm a way better left handed batter than I ever was right handed
The first time I tried batting left-handed I couldn't believe how well I could see the ball.
And almost immediately I found it easier to judge pitches and make contact.
The reason is that when batting left-handed my right eye was the one facing the pitcher.
And because my right eye is dominant, my field of vision was much wider that way.
And my ability to track the ball was improved.
The dominant eye is the one that is actually looking directly at objects.
The non-dominant eye adjusts, depending on distance, to provide binocular vision.
I didn't explain that well, but try an experiment to see how this works...
Face directly towards a small object about 10 feet away.
Now hold one finger up so it is superimposed right over your view of the object.
Now close one eye.
Now close the other eye.
Cool, huh?
