The swing doesn’t happen step by step.
In his latest YouTube video, @michaelmackelvie sits down with S2 co-founder Scott Wylie to break down how hitters process a pitch in real time.
It’s not see → decide → swing.
It’s perception, prediction, and timing all firing together — in less than half a second.
⚡ 400 milliseconds. That’s the difference between contact and a miss.

A “five-tool” player shouldn’t be stuck at .210 with sky-high strikeouts. ⚾️
The truth? It’s not always the eyes.
It’s not always the mechanics.
Most of the time, it’s the split-second decision your brain is making.
S2 goes beyond the obvious to measure how hitters are wired — and gives athletes a clear roadmap to train the right system for real results.
Stop guessing. Start training what actually moves the needle.

As assistant hitting coach for the Kansas City Royals, Joe Dillon understands the importance of training decision making at the plate. Processing the pitch and making the decision to swing or take happens in less than 1/2 a second.
Rhythm and Timing are NOT the same thing! Rhythm is you ability to get to a good hitting position on time. Timing is understanding when to swing to make good contact. Pitchers -disrupt the timing control of the batter! Hitters- adjust your timing so you don't get fooled! 😎
Distraction Control on Millisecond Monday! Miguel Cabrera gets the bird(s)! 😂
We all get distracted, but knowing your threshold to block out distractions can help you learn what you need to practice the most.
