The Hidden Link Between Pitcher Command and Catcher Targeting — with Dr. Don Teig
Description
In this powerful opening episode, Dr. Shah sits down with Dr. Don Teig, a world-renowned Sports Vision Optometrist who has worked with the New York Yankees for over two decades, and consulted across elite organizations including the Florida Panthers (NHL), multiple MLB, MLS, NBA, and NFL teams.
Together, they explore a critical—and often overlooked—concept in baseball performance:
👉 Does having a consistent visual target improve a pitcher’s command?
👉 What happens neurologically when a catcher isn’t giving the pitcher a steady focal point?
Dr. Teig brings decades of clinical and field-tested experience to the conversation, breaking down how visual-motor connection, eye discipline, and target acquisition play pivotal roles in elite pitching accuracy. Whether you're a pitcher, catcher, coach, or parent, this episode delivers game-changing insights into the neurovisual side of performance.
Topics Covered:
- The science of visual targeting and its role in command
- How elite pitchers maintain eye discipline
