About this listen

This podcast is based on a segment from the NBC TODAY Show. It introduces Dr. Daniel Laby, a unique eye doctor who is revolutionizing baseball training by focusing on sports vision. Unlike traditional eye care providers, Dr. Laby utilizes specialized tests to assess athletes' ability to track pitches, identify pitch types, and measure reaction times, all crucial for success at the plate. His methods have proven so effective that Major League Baseball teams, including the Boston Red Sox, now employ his services to gain a competitive edge. The segment highlights how Dr. Laby's work helps players, even those with correctable vision issues, improve their performance and how his research correlates vision scores with on-field success, ultimately leading to better hitting and on-base percentages.
