it was posted on another board once to lay on a bed, couch, the floor, and just throw a tennis ball up and let it come down (catch it if its going to hit you in the face). dont take your eyes off of it no matter where it goes and follow it all the way. due to your head being supported by the floor, if you notice your head coming off of it, then you have a problem.
its just a little thing to do while sitting around that gets you to see how it feels to track a pitch, and trains you on how to keep your head still. the best practice would be out on a field or in the cage taking pitches, but that isnt always possible, so toss some tennis balls up while you are laying around and work hard to make sure you arent moving your head (but are seeing the pitches) during your next games.
