Ted Williams dominant eye was his left eye.

So, when he batted right handed he could see the ball earlier and faster than a normal right handed batter with a dominant right eye.

One of our sons was basically right handed and his dominant eye was his left eye and he batted in the 400’s right handed.

He was/is also very ambidextrous, and could bat left handed. However, his batting average left handed was about 250.

One of his best friends in high school, college and decades later is an eye doc, and he has explained the above to us.

Of course having great vision, 20/10, and great reflexes helped.

“when he batted right handed”.....Huh? Ted hit from the left side. What am I missing here?
