Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine if visualization is effective in improving accuracy and velocity of NCAA Division I baseball pitchers. Subjects were 17 of the 21 pitchers on the Arkansas State University baseball team. They ranged in age from 18 to 23 years There were three data collections. Subjects were assigned a 15 minute slot for data collection. Subjects in the control group did not listen to the visualization tape at any time during the study. The treatment group did six days of treatment for two weeks, resulting in a total of 12 treatments. Each treatment session took approximately 25 minutes. There were no statistically significant differences between the treatment and control groups' pitching velocity and pitching accuracy. No statistically significant difference was found. It was concluded that even thought accuracy increased during the study the differences were not statistically significant.
