Just trying to be funny. I suppose I failed.

(And if I'm taking Steve literally, I think I would say I don't focus SOLELY on the ball, but try to keep the ball at or near the center of my vision and see as much as possible. You will not see OBS if you're just looking at the ball without making the effort to keep runners inside your peripheral vision ... but that is NOT what I meant by my post. I was just diggin a bit - sorry if the joke fell flat).
