Timing is the single most important element in hitting. But how do you get better at timing? First, you need to realize there are two very different types of timing involved. Body timing is the synchronizing of the body parts for the most powerfull swing. The second type of timing is the reaction time of the pitch and we have learned through the study of Effective Velocity that timing pitches can be very difficult all by itself. So the real trick to mastering timing is learning to link up the body timing with the right pitch timing. Time Training is designed to walk hitters step by step through this process. Level 1 will help hitters master the movements that make up the most powerful and most consistent swings. Then Level 2 blends efficient swing movements with pitch timing through early pitch recognition skills and training the mind to understand timing of pitches and how the body/mind work together to link great body timing to pitch timing.

EV Mention In The Trevor Bauer SI Article

When UCLA flew to Omaha last year for the College World Series, Bauer checked the case but carried on "Downright Filthy Pitching," a series of books written by Perry Husband, a former junior college coach who runs a baseball academy north of L.A. Husband has tracked millions of pitches in major league games and concluded that a 90-mile-per-hour pitch appears to a hitter roughly five miles per hour faster if it's on the inside corner and five miles per hour slower on the outside corner. Husband's theory, known as Effective Velocity, provided Bauer with the basis for his complex pitch sequences this season. When he returned from Omaha, he called Husband and asked him one question that Wolforth was never able to answer: When does a hitter have to commit? Husband calculated the point of no return at the 20-foot mark. Bauer was concerned that his pitches were traveling on different planes before they reached 20 feet—Husband calls the planes "tunnels"—and therefore weren't deceptive enough.

He sent film of the pitches to Husband, whose advanced video system makes it possible to overlay them on the same screen and show how each one differs at 20 feet. Husband sent back the clips with a narration of his findings.
