Hitting a baseball - I've said it a thousand times - is the single most difficult thing to do in sport. Ted Williams

Certainly if one of the best pure hitters in baseball history finds hitting a baseball the hardest athletic feat that he's ever encountered, the rest of the world faces an even greater challenge when stepping into the batter's box. Since the era where Williams was setting batting records, changes to the game may have even increased this level of difficulty. Specialized pitchers entering the game for shorter and shorter stretches of time along with training developments have led to higher pitch velocities across the league. MLBAM now classifies each pitch thrown into one of 13 different types, demonstrating the variety of looks that hitters in today's game are required to negotiate.

Now, a startup company with a near-identical name says it is in talks with four other major-league teams about providing tests to evaluate the neurological strengths and weaknesses of their minor-league hitters. The company, Neuroscout, would put electrode caps on players to measure their relevant brain activity during computer simulations of pitches coming at them.

Probably more debatable/subjective than pitch framing. It's also something I don't think Wieters was particularly good at.
