IMBANGMAYNN!
My friend once had a friend with an MLB pitcher. I was a varsity at Badminton at the time and was competing at sports events. It was my first time playing baseball and the pitcher wanted to test how good I was at swinging. My friend said the guy was a almost a 3 digit pitcher dude (sorry I forgot his name.
So we just wanted to see how well I'd do as a batter, and myghad it was one of the proudest moments of my life. I hit all of his 15 shots and 3 were homeruns. Not bad for a rookie imo. The thing is I didnt know how to swing properly but I did have very good reflexes, in all honesty the ball moved slower than how a shuttle moves in badminton imo

Does it not seem like they tried to reinvent the wheel with the screen that you can't use a bat with? VR has been around for decades, you don't even need an actual screen if you have glasses on. And most people will swing very differently if you're actually holding something or if you're not. And virtual golf has been around for a super long time as well where the screen itself it inconsequential, you're just projecting onto it. The concepts are fine but seems like if they hired someone with a basic knowledge of how other existing systems worked they could get something way more realistic and way cheaper as well.

Been listening to -The Sports Gene- on Audible. One of the points he makes is that at this speed, the batter does not have enough time to see the pitch, judge where it's going, and decide whether or not to swing. It's just too fast. So the greatest batters are looking at things like the pitcher's shoulder movement, windup. famously, some top mlb blayers get struck out by girl softball pitchers all the time even though they're throwing 65 mph tops. They can't read the pitcher.

2: 11 lmao which editor thought this was a good idea? This literally makes things so much more confusing.
it-s really choppy, is inconsistent, and wildly unneeded.
it looks like an insecure editor, trying to show how technical they can be.
this would of been 10x better if it was just a still slideshow of the pictures
that way people could understand every part better, and wouldn-t need an epilepsy warning attached.

theoretically, when all vector forces are added, a fastball max would be 119 mph on an average 6 ft person. Fleisig thinks there is only one way to throw a baseball, therefore all his mechanical analysis are flawed. He is a surgeon as as such only sees inured people. Those injured people are throwing incorrectly and he believes this the correct way. duh, if it were correct he would not be seeing all these people.

Just think how rare a pitcher like Nolan Ryan was back in those days throwing 100 mph when know one was. Must have been crazy for batters seeing that for the first time. I'm sure studying his mechanics helped others achieve better speed on their fast balls. Nolan is the G. O. A. T.

I'm curious why most of the pitchers here are of relatively normal size. You'd think that the type of people who can do superheavyweight Olympic lifting would have the strength for this speed.

Is it almost impossible or impossible? If the answer is almost than the topic is meaningless. Eventually bigger stronger pitchers will exceed 110 mph especially with the aid of PEDs.

You miss qouted Ted Williams right off the bat. It went more like, -Hitting a pitched round ball with a round bat and doing it squarely, is the hardest thing to do in sports. -

In terms of reflex reaction, as Ted Williams said, -hitting a fastball is the most difficult thing to do. - I'd say that evading an Ali jab must have been right up there!
