The Best Lens Colors for Baseball [For Day & Night Games]

[Clovers13]

You might have noticed your favorite MLB player wearing sunglasses on the field. But, sunglasses aren’t just a fashion accessory on the baseball diamond. Your lens color actually alters how you perceive colors out on the field. While some tints make colors more vivid, others may reduce glare, improve visual acuity, or block light.
And with the right baseball lenses, a good pair of baseball sunglasses will help you see more clearly, reduce eye fatigue, and enhance your depth perception!

well... if Prizm Infield doesn't help him and he prefers clear over that, maybe he doesn't want a contrast lens. i use Prizm Field (used to be called Prizm Outfield) for golf and all ball sports where i need to see a ball against the sky. i have about 30 pairs of Oakley's with various lenses and the Prizm Field is by far the best for seeing a ball in flight. i'm just not sure if his condition requires something different than what normal people need for seeing a ball in flight.

Former small college outfielder here. I've tried several different lenses. I haven't tried the prizm lenses though. They were not out yet, but I did try the amber lenses that were popular that simulate the contact lenses that you see Bryce Harper wearing sometimes.

You don't want anything polarized. It made it really hard to tell how far away the ball was. My depth perception wasn't the same. The ball look the same until it was right on me. It also caused problems when there were windows behind the plate somewhere because there would always be a rainbow in your vision.

The amber lenses I couldn't tell a difference. It was really just a different color.

I used a ice iridium, black iridium, or positive red iridium, and occasionally a grey.

If he is having trouble when there's a clear blue sky, this is something every player has trouble with. It's called a high sky and it's hard because the clouds help with depth perception. You just have to get used to it. At night if the ball goes above the lights, it turns into a bb. Really hard to see and judge. i hated it when fields had low light poles.

End drills by taking a few ground balls hit hard than he will ever field, pop fly's higher than he will ever see, and pitches faster than he will he will have to hit. Everything is faster in college and it's hard to adjust and get playing time.

Good luck!! !

Honestly, prizm road

Sorry one more thing. In high school 85 mph pitches is average. If a kid was throwing this, I was thinking, "ok just throw it up here and let me hit it." When I got to college and 90 was average, i had a lot of trouble. Get used to 90 now. Also don't take 90 mph in the back it hurts. That's the day I figured out why guys charge the mound.

Prizm Baseball Outfield (Now called Prizm Field) is by far the best lens to see ball in flight and Prizm Low Light for night games.

Also a former college baseball player, I wish they had Prizm Field when I played. It’s an amazing lens for seeing ball in flight.

I had to buy a prizm field lens because of this thread.
